Opinions on WA lenses ?

Yes
For info. up until recently I shot mainly with a 1DIII and ocassionally with a 5D but now use 60D and 1DsII bodies so this has meant swopping and changing a few lenses.

I now pretty much have my lens line-up sorted, however, I have just sold a really nice 35L which I used a lot so I am missing this focal length a bit. I now need a fast, wide prime for weddings and events and figure that something in the 20-24 mm range will be nice and wide on the FF and pretty much replace the 35L when used on the crop body.

Obviously, the 24L II is a contender but before I invest I was wondering what people here think of the offerings in this range including those from Sigma plus others and including opinions on the 24L mark I.

Any information would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I thought about getting a prime but decided for my shooting I preferred a zoom. Got the Canon 16-35 2.8 II and really like it. I previously had the 17-40L which I thought was fantastic but need a faster lens to capture the northern lights (hopefully). Below is a quick test shot I took in my garden and 100% crop - looks sharp!

Obviously depends if you like primes or zooms though!
 
Hi Fred

Thanks for getting back.

Sorry, I should have detailed what I have around this FL, lenses include; Siggy 14f2.8, Canon 16-35 f2.8 mkII and Canon 50f1.2. Like you I really like the 16-35 (colors, contrast, sharpness etc are wonderful) but I was shooting a party at the weekend and I definitely need something wider than f2.8 hence my need for a prime.

Thanks again though.

Gary
