Advertisement Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 Hi tntrue, Take a look here Iceland, which 21mm ?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Erik Gunst Lund Posted August 31, 2015 Share #22  Posted August 31, 2015 There is often a lot of wind in Iceland, so use high shutter speed, high ISO to avoid motion blur.  21mm... details tend to get very small for landscapes with wide angle shots...

jto555 Posted August 31, 2015 Share #23  Posted August 31, 2015 To the OP. Don't worry about which is the best 21mm. Get the cheapest 21mm that will be satisfactory, and use any money you have saved for an excursion/trip when you get there. An experence is so much better than an ever so slightly sharper image on a computer screen!!!  Another idea, is to do a photography seminar or landscape course.   The best idea, imho, is that after you get the 'cheap' lens, take your wife/husband/partner/friend out to dinner with the money you "saved".         Stopped many-a-row in my house...    Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Verrips Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share #24  Posted August 31, 2015 Decided to buy the CV 21/f4.0 because of the weight and price difference, reading the posts i assume f/4.0 will do fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpk Posted September 1, 2015 Share #25 Â Posted September 1, 2015 I was in Iceland with the 4.5/21 Biogon which I can recommend for film and digital for black and white work, for digital color I would recommend the Super-Elmar-M 21mm. Don't forget your tripod! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert M Poole Posted September 1, 2015 Share #26 Â Posted September 1, 2015 Â Â 21mm... details tend to get very small for landscapes with wide angle shots... I agree, I have just returned from a couple of days in Iceland using only my Fuji xe1 and 12mm Samyang f2. There were a lot of times I wished I'd brought something with a little more reach.

dante Posted September 1, 2015 Share #27 Â Posted September 1, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) For film, I second the ZM Biogon-C, which is a much nicer than the CV 21/4. In fact, it's one of the best 21mm lenses ever made. On digital, it has some color shift issues that are a bit of a pain but correctable with Adobe Flat Field. Â 21mm is something that is easy to overvalue for landscapes (unless you have a foreground subject, it is a focal length that threatens to bland-ify anything it touches). If you really do need to go this wide, I'd also check out the 18mm ZM Distagon, which can often be had for $700 or so, and which is one of very few superwides that is sharp corner-to-corner on the digital bodies.

thremur Posted September 2, 2015 Share #28  Posted September 2, 2015 To buy the CV 21/4 is a good decision. The quality of the lens is nice, it is small and cheap. I´m using it quite often in Iceland and like the results it delivers very much.  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp995 Posted September 2, 2015 Share #29  Posted September 2, 2015 Decided to buy the CV 21/f4.0 because of the weight and price difference, reading the posts i assume f/4.0 will do fine.  Good decision! I own a SEM 3.4/21, but sometimes I think about the small size and also good performance of the Skopar! Missing a half stop doesn't matter ...
