Re: [Digital BW] Canon lenses 17-35 vs. 16-35mm

2002-02-01 by Derek Clarke

Nikon already does have an 8mm.

It's a full-blown fisheye though, as well as being quite the largest wide 
angle lens that you'll ever see.

I don't see a rectilinear 8mm though, even if figured just to cover 
23.5x15mm. 

The back focus is far too long to dodge the mirror.

That's why I wonder why no brave soul has brougt out a digicam with a Leica 
39mm screw or M mount so the Voigtlander 15mm can be used.

Are you listening Cosina? :-)
