this year i plan to complete my lens collection
need advice or recommendation on what canon wide angle lens i should get.

also is a 50mm worth getting for fun?


if you know some other useful lenses please post here.

Canon Nikon mount adapter. Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8. Can't go wrong.


And to be serious. Of course 50mm primes are worth it. Primes > Zooms, any day.

50mm is my fav, you can get quite creative with it

should i get the 1.8
or pay extra for the 1.4

1.2 is out of my price range since i dont have a photography income right now.

1.4 Hands down. Canon's 1.8 has issues.

Wait until Canon's announcements for new gear.

What issues does it have?
I got one for Christmas, everyone in the forum said it was a good buy
Should I take it back?

No lol. He's just bad because Nikon is inferior to Canon. They haven't come up with anything that is > the 5d MK II's price range.

i was using both 1.8 and 1.4 on nikon
but actually preferred the 1.8 sharpness in the wide aperture
dont know about canon tho

My 1.8 is sharp wide open, but some copies aren't. Canon's 1.4 is a better lens of course, but you can't beat the value of the 1.8.

Some things you may not like about the 1.8 are build quality, AF noise/speed, AF/MF switch, MF ring. Personally I really like my 1.8, but if you don't mind spending extra get the 1.4. I may get a 1.4 down the road a bit but the 1.8 fits my needs right now.
