Everyone is always interested in which lens they should get that will get them generally good photos. But, it is time to take a look at what you are interested in and invest in a lens that will get you good photos of most, but INCREDIBLE photos when used for its specialty.
For instance, a wide angle lens. Wide Angle Photography is tricky in its own way, but nothing looks more tantalizing than a beautifully constructed wide angle shot.
Getting a specialty lens like this can cost a pretty penny. Asking Rob Andrew, professional photographer, he recommended the “Canon 16-35mm” but followed with “it will cost you though”. While there is not doubt the Canon 16-35mm is amazing as described by Ken Rockwell, we wanted to recommend something with quality AND value for all of you who do not have an extra $1,500 plus lying around, but want to have breathless wide angle shots.
The Tokina 11-16mm is the best ultrawide zoom lens available and comes at an incredible price (over 35% less than comparable Nikon and Canon wide angle lenses)! Tokina holds its product to a high standard in quality and provides great pricing. This Tokina 11-16mm also is universal being able to be used on both Canon and Nikon cameras; therefore, it is a great investment for any photographer holding those brands. Considered one of the world’s fastest and sharpest ultrawide lens for small format digital cameras, this lens is very well made and produces sharp beautiful photos.
