Declan74 Posted January 18 Share #1 Posted January 18 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi all, I have a Q3 which I love and do most of my amateur shooting with. I have been curious to try a SL so bought a really nice used SL2 recently. The primary reason is to go wide as I work in construction and would like to capture my interior projects. What are my wide (14mm ish) options without spending a fortune? I would be open to manual focus. thanks in advance. Declan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For great price/performance ratio, Sigma has a range of 14mm lenses. 14mm 1.4 and 14-24 zoom. Leica has 14-24 (similar to sigma) and 16-35, widest prime is 21mm APO You can use adapter and go with Leica M lenses or use some voigtlanders for MF and smaller size. Really depends on your preferences and what you would like to have Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted January 18 Share #4 Posted January 18 AF is not needed Your camera can take plenty of M mount wide lenses through an adapter (not necessarily the expensive Leica one) and especially Voigtlander wides work satisfactory to well depending on model, so check the performance before you buy (not as good as on an M camera, but close) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, rangefinder and AF work better with wide-angle lenses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted January 18 Share #6 Posted January 18 Can't say I do - I use magnification on the Fn of the thumb wheel. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
