[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 616454, member: 24285"] I see Henry's of Toronto has a 14mm used on sale for a bit over a grand (CDN$) which is in the ball park of a new 20mm Siggy 1.4. The 15mm or 16mm Fisheyes (Sigma and Nikon respectively) can be found on line for in that same ballpark. I have lensbaby all manual circular fisheyes. Both are unique (5.6 and 12mm) The 12mm is an optic insert for their tilt function. The 5.6 has that nifty internal chrome reflection thing going for it. But they are 'artsy' lenses for special affect. Adding a rectangular fisheye would be something I don't have. I have pondered going old school with a vintage (but still available new) 20mm 2.8 - but not a lot of love out there for that old bit of glass. I think the Tamron 17-35 2.8-4 would be very similar to the Nikon 18-35 you describe, at least for focal length. IQ opnions may vary. I used it a lot at a recent out door party I attended. Here is a sample. [ATTACH=CONFIG]251631._xfImport[/ATTACH] Other than downsizing and converting from RAW to JPG this is as shot. EXIF does not come up on my screen: Tamron 17-35 at 17mm, almost wide open at F3.2 Shot in manual mode, 1/640 shutter. ISO 400. D610 This lens does vignette - I tend to be a crop-a-lot kinda guy so often not an issue unless the interesting part of the image is right at the corner of the picture. [/QUOTE]
