This is the lens that I am targeting for this year. I had been wondering which ultra wide angle lens should I buy. Tokina 11-16mm f2.8, Canon 16-35mm f2.8, Canon 10-22mm f3.5-5.6 or Sigma 12-24 f4.5-5.6. Finally I had made up my mind where should I go.
Initially I was thinking of converting to full frame 5D mark 3 then, I have to consider hard for which lens should I chose. APC-S lens is not able to mount on the APC camera. If I have to go to full frame camera, then I only have 2 choices which is Canon 16-35mm f2.8 or Sigma 12-24 f4.5-5.6. After Canon announce the price for Canon 5D mark 3, I am totally fainted! I was expecting it will be around RM 9,000 but it hit up t o RM 12,000. It almost to hit the price of Nikon D800 + 24-70 f2.8 Nikon nano lens. Thus it is better for me to drop the idea of getting a full frame camera at this moment. Recently have to spend a lot of some extra expenses. Thus its better to do some saving for my emergency use.
Among the lenses above, Canon 16-35mm f2.8 is the most expensive lens. The effect of ultra wide angle will be more significant when it mounted on a full frame camera. While on hand, I already have Tamron 17-50mm f2.8. Canon 10-22mm f3.5-5.6 has a higher aperture value and more pricey compare to Tokina 11-16mm f2.8. Sigma has the advantage of APC lens where in future if I need to upgrade my camera I do not have to change my lens but the price is not cheap as well. RM 3.5k per lens. Thus the economical lens that suits my purpose and pocket will be the Tokina 11-16mm f2.8. It has the advantage of f2.8 best suit for indoor use, especially capture wedding day in house tea ceremony.
Soon to buy my lens....
