UWA option

[wilb87]

I am looking for an affordable UWA option to add to my kit, wondering if anyone got any affordable UWA lens to introduce.

Looking for decent performance and a fixed focal length (below 16mm) , also affordable

Found a Rokinon FE14M-P 14mm F2.8 on Amazon, any opinions on it?

This lens is similar to the Bower, Samyang, Falcon, etc brands you can find in the UK and USA. All are OEM from Samyang.

There is a distributor in SG that brings in the Samyang brand from Korea. Why not look at our own Pentax UWA but manual lenses? That is another option.

i think TS will be better off considering the DA15.

the old A-15mm is really quite rare. hard to find, expensive when found.

The DA 15mm image quality is very good from what i see in the reviews compared to the flare problems in the 14mm mentioned in a few review. Most probably will be the one i am looking for, although it still isn't affordable.

Any user of the samyang lenses?

Samyang is manual focus ( not a issue if u use hyperfocal ) just take note

What is your budget?

Sigma 10-20mm (if you can find a grey set or second hand) is quite affordable.

I heard the Samyang 14mm is pretty ok, just that MF can be such a pain. Nonetheless, if you're using it for the most part for landscapes, it should not be an issue. Just that 14mm after Crop Factor of 1.5x is none too wide.

budget will be around 700, of course if there is a cheaper decent performer it will be good. thanks everyone for your inputs

Sigma 10-20 should fit the bill (if u get. Grey set)

If 15mm ok for u , do consider da 15mm . Only 791

agree with simon on this... if the price difference from your budget is only $100+, its worthwhile to consider the DA15.

AF, trusted quality and easier to re-sell. will not lose much if u decide to sell to fund other equipment later.

for the da15mm can use screw on filter like the b+w nd110? thinking about getting the da15mm but not sure if can use filter due to the built in hood...
