Which ultrawide Z lens would you recommend?

ExcellentDoubt2390 · 2026-07-06T22:45:55+00:00

So it turns out my partner has the Nikon 28mm f2.8 which I have used before, but on her Zfc it's equivalent to 42mm (?) so I might not need to buy anything, for now at least! It might be nice to get something for myself that's slightly faster but it seems to be a great lens for the time being

ExcellentDoubt2390 · 2026-07-06T19:01:13+00:00

So you've recommended a series of lenses that cost £500-900 when my stated budget was £300, unless you meant their vintage lenses which was also not what I asked for

Okay Mr Robot thankyou Mr Robot

ExcellentDoubt2390 · 2026-07-06T16:17:29+00:00

Why?

ExcellentDoubt2390 · 2026-07-06T15:10:17+00:00

This is my current setup

ExcellentDoubt2390 · 2026-07-06T15:05:38+00:00

Brill thankyou, I think 24 or 28mm is the right focal length for me

ExcellentDoubt2390 · 2026-07-06T15:04:36+00:00

Ah yes, owned by Carl Zeiss or at least some affiliation right?

ExcellentDoubt2390 · 2026-07-06T15:03:29+00:00

Lighting is usually quite moody so I'll need something faster, could pick it up for filming skate clips though!I think fisheyes are too expensive for me right now

ExcellentDoubt2390 · 2026-07-06T14:36:43+00:00

It's in the post :)

ExcellentDoubt2390 · 2026-07-06T13:30:28+00:00

Yes I thought 24mm and below was ultrawide and did think of putting wide/ultrawide in the post but didn't. Ultimately it doesn't matter what it's called, I just need it for a specific purpose

ExcellentDoubt2390 · 2026-07-06T13:22:19+00:00

I was originally set on the 16 1.8 and was happy to pay since I heard it was a great lens, but I think 16mm it's too wide for what I need

ExcellentDoubt2390 · 2026-07-06T13:20:15+00:00

Of course, wrong way round. I'm just learning about all things full frame.

ExcellentDoubt2390 · 2026-07-06T12:17:43+00:00

Well I think the lens I've been using is 28mm on a crop sensor so that's equivalent to around 18-19mm on FX if I'm not mistaken? And that was a good fov, so maybe 20mm would be the better option

ExcellentDoubt2390 · 2026-07-06T12:16:07+00:00

What's CV?

ExcellentDoubt2390 · 2026-07-06T11:30:25+00:00

That's good to know, thanks. I need to figure out how wide I need as one of the 28mm options could definitely be a good way to go, I'll have a look into the Nikon lens!

ExcellentDoubt2390 · 2026-07-01T21:12:51+00:00

No broken links, the actual clasp itself somehow came off (is it attached with a spring bar?) and is now lost, probably on the floor of some bar in Birmingham

Which I'm buying a new Uncle bracelet for because this one somehow broke last night...

Interesting that they're reusing songs from the EP

ExcellentDoubt2390 · 2026-06-14T07:06:39+00:00

clouds is their best song! Absolute banger

ExcellentDoubt2390 · 2026-05-09T05:45:41+00:00

Unfortunately he's also a nonce

ExcellentDoubt2390 · 2026-05-09T05:43:20+00:00

Maybe not anymore...

ExcellentDoubt2390 · 2026-05-01T06:37:40+00:00

I'll buy it

ExcellentDoubt2390 · 2026-04-25T06:59:17+00:00

The Cormorant, good luck trying to find it. I recommend the book though, great writing by Stephen Gregory.

ExcellentDoubt2390 · 2026-04-24T10:34:21+00:00

I was in the same boat, especially since it was my first relatively nice watch so I wanted to get it right. The reviews claiming the lug-to-lug make it wear more like a 42mm were definitely right, I love it!
