[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 616018, member: 24285"] I'm lusting after a new lens - birthday comes up next month - and there is a camera show between now and then. .... My current widest is an older Tamron 17-35, 2.8-4.0 lens. It works, and works well enough. No I don't need a new ultra-wide. I just want one. But I'm looking at adding a faster prime to my wide options. The budget option would be a vintage Nikon 20mm 2.8 ... could happen? Nikon's 1.8 20mm newer version is also an option - at about twice the money. OR is the Siggy Artsy 20mm 1.4 a better choice for just a few dollars more (well ok, more than just a few). But it is a stop faster. I've been very impressed with the Sigma 50mm 1.4 Art. Love it. In one store a young clerk said I should really look harder at the FX 35mm .... Hmmm, I do shoot a lot of my 17-35mm shots zoomed to the max of 35..... BUT I do have a very nice 24-70 2.8 ... big, but nice. ..... So I'm thinking wider than that. And I was real intreged by a new maker "Venus Optics" a tilt 15mm macro - but 4.0 so not the fastest lens on the shelf.
