UWA lens in a budget for Nikon F

4 years 10 months ago #646269 by Jos-Medeiros
Hi, guys! Finally made up my mind and ordered my new cam: Z6 + kit lens + FTZ.
I'm on a budget and I need some advice with my 2nd lens, wich will be something between 12mm and 16mm. Serching for a f/2.8 or something near that, since I intend, in addition to landscapes, to do some astro too.
Irix 15mm f/2.4???
Rokinon 14mm f/2.8???
(...)
Thank you!

Rokinon 14mm would be my choice, many photographers will use that for astrophotography.  Very sharp for the $$.

Would you consider used?    www.keh.com or www.mpb.com both sell used.  Sometimes you can find good deals on used gear.

As I live in the middle of nowhere - Azores, it is very difficult to me try used gear, so I'd fell more confortable buying something new...
