p.1 #1 · I'm looking for a 10mm non fisheye DX lens.


The Nikon 10 MM fisheye isn't bad and can be corrected but for the few pictures I expect to use it for it's to expensive. Does anybody know of a decent 10mm rectilinear lens? I assume at 10mm a manual focus lens
should be easy enough to use with these old eyes.
Inexpensive is important so even a used lens would be fine.
The widest I have now is my 17-55.
Thanks

I've read good things about the Sigma 8-16mm for APS-C. It's not exactly cheap, but it certainly costs less than your 17-55.

Very impressive results as tested by Photozone, and they tested 2 different copies (1 on a Canon 50D, 1 on a Nikon D7000):

SLRGear also tested the Sigma 8-16 on a Canon 7D and got similarly impressive results:

The old manual focus lenses are all "FF" lenses and you are not going to find an FF 10mm rectilinear lens. Your best option is to look at one of the APS-C Zooms.

Sigma 10-20, I bought mine LN for 300$ and it was one of my favorite DX lenses. The Rokinon 14 2.8 is another alternative.

I tried the Sigma 10-20 on my 5D2 and D7k.
Maybe I got two bad copies,
I much prefer the AF-S Nikkor 10-24 and 12-24, both DX

Look on the buy/sell forum

I am a die hard D2x user and see no foreseeable reason to update. It makes money for me period. That being said, I too needed a lens as this and took to doing some cost vs. features and what was the best band for the buck..

My final results were the Rokinon 8mm

It's a manual focus unit. Easily correctable distortion if needed and it lists out around $275.00.

I bought it, use it, like it, and it's a great addition to the kit here.
