I'm looking to see what options there are for a nice wide, or more so the cheaper option but without poor quality.
I'm interested in have nice wide angles but without going to far to the extreme of a fisheye with barrel destortion. So I'm thinking of a nice wide around 0.5x. I see that one option is the OPTEX double set to give 0.5. Anyone used these? What other options are there????
I also read that with those 35mm adapters that they are 2x, but remove effects of fisheye....that true, or just a sales type gimic???
What do people use? I primarily want nice wide angle to use in countryside and country to get in the lovely scenes, perhaps then crop to 1.85 or 2.85 to give an almost panoramic type feel to the shots. But I'm just interested in getting the best out of landscapes and also use for nice wide groups shots or scenes in film.
I have 16x lens IS II, and would like options with this lens, rather than 3x lens which still would not be that wide. Perhaps later when money comes I can get 3x lens and use WA adapters later on that. Though I would prefer 16x manual than 3x cos of things I have heard about it.
So let me know what setups you have and what works the best for you.
Thanks!
