Dear All



although I am not fond of these queries myself, I am still going to ask:



What would be a good general landscape/ street wide angle lens for a Canon full frame (5D mII) camera?



(a) Canon 24mm/F1.4

Praised on all forums and test, P-Zone test pointed out its limitations (f1.4-f2.8 mainly).

PROs: sweet in its sweet spots, built quality, Canon compatibility

CONs: price, limited wide-open performance



(<img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='B)' /> Canon 16mm-35mm/F2.8

PROs: versatile, price (given its versatility), decent performance in its sweet spots

CONs: not overly impresive image quality (as far as I can judge from P-Zone testing)

PROs: good image quality

CONs: same price as Canon 24mm/F1.4 and worse (in most apestcs) image quality in same settings (apertures), no weather sealing



Just FYI, I am fond of primes and my set-up would be just WA lens + 70-200mm/f4 IS. Perhaps, if needed, I will carry also Canon 50mm/F1.4 that I already have.



Thanks for your comments,
