[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 111165, member: 9240"] Going "Ultrawide" is one of that is really up to the photographer. I never thought I'd want one until I played with one and saw what it brought to my photography. I do a lot of landscapes, and the easiest way for me to describe what it adds to my toolbox is the ability to suck everything I'm seeing with my eyes into a single frame. It's not necessarily accurate in its portrayal, but it's super-accurate in its scope. There is always a level of distortion, but that's because there's more there than you are expecting - scope distortion. The lens specific types can be corrected or compensated for in Lightroom or Photoshop. So if that doesn't suit the type of work you do, then there's no reason to drop that money on a lens you will use only occasionally. I suspect the new 18-35mm G series Nikon just introduced might be more your speed. And it takes filters. As for the 85 & 105, I believe Rick M may be chiming in on those. [/QUOTE]
