Hey Guys,

Looking for a Wide angle lens for my 1DmkII, the obvious choice to me was the 17-40 before i realised that the 1D is a 1.3x crop so 17mm is really not that long.

What are the options for the 1DmkII?

Around $1000 budget, anything less is a bonus!


I know there are a few out there that will have vignette for the first few mm so i am open to them too.

The main reason for the lens is that i am going over to the Kalahari Desert in a few weeks and need something for the landscapes, but also some quick portraits, which is where the 40mm would of done nicely.

What are your thoughts?

Cheers,

Nic
