5 ultra-wide-angle lenses

This time I have selected 5 ultra-wide-angle lenses that are not all cameras to choose from, including Sony mirrorless NEX, M4/3 system, as well as APS-C format cameras such as Nikon and Canon. Below are the 5 ultra-wide-angle lens recommendations I compiled, welcome to read!

For those who want to record city impressions while traveling, or those who pursue images with a unique perspective, ultra-wide-angle lenses are an interesting choice. However, due to the large scene and many objects it accommodates, ultra-wide angle is not an easy wide-angle range to use if you do not control the composition or arrange the scene well.

Product model: Sigma 10-20mm F3.5 EX DC HSM

Reference price: 3868 yuan

Main features:

Sigma 10-20mm F3.5 EX DC HSM is an upgraded version of the previous 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC HSM lens. It adopts a new lens structure, two ELD extra low dispersion lenses and one SLD ultra-low dispersion lens. Effectively eliminates chromatic aberration in ultra-wide-angle lenses. At the same time, the four aspherical lenses provide excellent distortion control capabilities and make the overall lens compact and lightweight. The aperture is constant F3.5, which can achieve better light transmission. It has a maximum aperture of F3.5 at all focal lengths. The large aperture of constant F3.5 has obvious advantages when shooting indoors and when it is necessary to highlight the subject and blur the background. And all are driven by HSM ultrasonic motors, which make focusing quiet and fast and have full-time manual focusing capabilities.

In addition, this new lens uses super multi-layer coating to effectively reduce flare and ghosting. High-quality pictures are obtained throughout the entire zoom range. The lens design uses an internal focusing system. The front lens group does not rotate during the focusing process, and the petal-shaped lens hood can be conveniently used. The minimum focusing distance of this lens is 24cm, and the maximum magnification is 1:6.6. Compared with the old Sigma 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC/HSM, the new lens is slightly different in appearance, especially in line with the recent "big eyes" feature of Sigma - the filter diameter reaches 82mm, which is believed to be able to image at the edges It should perform well in terms of performance.

Editor’s comments : Tokina AF11-16mm F2.8 (AT-X 116 PRO DX) lens is a large-aperture ultra-wide-angle lens specially developed for APS-C digital SLR cameras. It is the world's first ultra-wide-angle F2.8 large-diameter lens. In terms of appearance, it follows the design style of the highly acclaimed AT-X 124 PRO DX lens.

At the same time, it inherits the excellent feel of manual focus operation unique to the AT-X 124 PRO DX series.

Product model: Sony E 10-18mm F4 OSS

Reference price: 4959 yuan

Sony E 10-18mm F4 OSS lens is Sony’s first E The bayonet mount ultra-wide-angle lens has an equivalent focal length of 15-27mm. What is commendable is that this is a constant F4 aperture lens and also comes with an OSS anti-shake mechanism, which is one of the few high-end configurations among ultra-wide-angle lenses. Equipped with a super ED lens to improve the imaging performance of the ultra-wide-angle lens. Overall, the configuration of the Sony E 10-18mm F4 OSS lens is quite good. Of course, as an ultra-wide-angle lens, the price is also very gorgeous.

There are many Sony E-mount lenses that have been launched on the market, but there has never been an ultra-wide-angle lens. Therefore, the emergence of the Sony E 10-18mm F4 OSS lens has not only expanded Sony’s lens group, It also makes up for the disadvantage that Sony's mirrorless cameras have not had an ultra-wide-angle lens. For many users, this is a fun lens.

The Sony E10-18mm F4 OSS lens is larger than the average kit lens, especially in terms of diameter, which is much larger than the 18-55mm kit lens. Even when used on the NEX-6 or NEX-7, which have larger bodies, the lens stands out.

Lens parameters:

Focal length: 35mm equivalent focal length 15-27mm

Lens group: 8 groups of 10 elements lens structure

Minimum aperture: F22

Magnification: about 0.1

Minimum focusing distance: about 0.25m

Maximum diameter: 70mm

Full length : 63.5mm

Mass: about 225g

The Sony E 10-18mm F4 OSS lens is relatively large among E-mount lenses, but its specifications are similar to those of A-mount SLRs. Compared with the ultra-wide-angle lens DT 11-18mm F4.5-5.6, the size advantage is still very obvious. In addition, the constant aperture and optical anti-shake function make the Sony E 10-18mm F4 OSS lens more valuable than the A-mount DT 11-18mm F4.5-5.6 lens.

Editor’s comment: As an ultra-wide-angle lens for Nikon DX format, Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED is currently the most The best choice. If you want to get an ultra-wide-angle shooting experience on the Nikon D7000, it is the best zoom lens. The lens has strong distortion resistance and excellent sharpness performance. The only troubling thing is that it is a non-full-frame lens. If you upgrade to a full-frame SLR camera in the future, the chance of using it will be greatly reduced.
