Hi All,
the lens missing from my arsenal at the moment is a wide angle. I would appreciate some feedback about your experiences with the different lenses available, however there is one important factor to consider.... it must be a good IR performer!
I have checked the lens hotspot performance page at the Kolari site here Lens Hotspot Performance Database | Kolari Vision Infrared and they list the following for example as being good performers for infrared photography (i list the usual ones only):
Nikon 10-24
Sigma 10-20 / 12-24
Tamron 10-24
Rokinon/Samyang/Walimex 14mm (not in the list, but I hear good reports,also FX compatible but manual focus)
I am against the Nikon due to the cost, leaving me at the moment to decide between the Sigma Tamron or Samyang?
If anyone can offer their 5 cent worth or maybe even suggest something else it would be appreciated. TOKINA is not an option, bad IR performance.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Wishing you all a successful week!
