If you are using an APS-C camera and if you are shooting between f/8 and f/11, the Voigtlander 20mm is a great lens.

No, It will be used on a 5D and a Film-300 ... I should have mentioned that, since some
lenses might have problems with mirror-clearance.
The Voigtlaender is a tempting lens ... but this is just a "fun-thing" for me, so
the price is jut too high.

I was going to suggest the Zeiss 21/2.8, which is an excellent lens ... until I saw your budget.
Sorry I can't help here, but would you mind saying which adapter you use?

Yes ... the Zeiss is certainly a good lens, but is as certainly way out of my budget.
I have several MF lenses and I use no special brand of adapters (usually those
relatively cheap ones from chinese shops). No problems so far.

What about 14mm ?
[/quote]
The Samyang? ... I thought about it. If it would be for the 5D only, it could be a way to go
... but there are three objections
... I want to use it for slide film as well, and the Samyang produces a strong wavy
distortion (which is plain ugly if uncorrected)
... on digital, I could use my Zenitar 16 for this and defish it
... 14 is already too wide for general use ... it could be a 4th lens below a 20, but as the
only wide lens, I don't know.
Or are there other 14mm options which are affordable?
