[QUOTE="editorial_use_only, post: 663027, member: 40895"] Yes I've been in the market for a wide-angle full frame lens for some time. It's a tough one for me because I work in a lot of low-light venues, so f/1.4 or f/1.8 primes make a big difference over the f/4 or f/2.8 zooms. But then, with primes I find I'm too far away from the stage (or whatever) and wish I had the versatility of a zoom to get more pixels on the subject. And then I have filters for everything in 77mm so I'd prefer that, and so on. If it's any help, here's a partial list of options I made. Maybe there's something you haven't looked at. I think they are sorted from high to low price, about $1200 at the top to $400 for the Tokina 17-35, but haven't been that careful with making the list.
