Getting the whole scene - and the some.

The honest 35mm

For some reason some photographers seem to think that a 35mm lens is about as boring and bland as a lens can get. I beg to differ.

Sigma 8-16mm

The Sigma ultra wideangle zoom is a fantastic lens, but not easy to use and not perfect for all situations where a wideangle is useful

Minolta 24mm f/2.8

The first wideangle I owned, and a real gem: wide, sharp, good colors and built to last. The mechanics were world class and the optical quality followed close troop.

Minolta 35mm f/2.8 MD

I had this manual lens as one of the first ones for my Minolta bodies and remember its very good mechanical construction and oh so smooth focusing.

Vivitar 19-35mm f/3.5-4.5

A nice windangle zoom that could satisfy my longing for some perspective. It was quite wide even on the crop factor Minolta 7D

Sigma 15mm f/2.8 fisheye

My first ever fisheye lens, and a great performer. Both the mechanics and the optical quality is good, and the lens produces a stunning 180 degree vista on a full frame body

Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6

A really wide zoom (like REALLY!) even on a DX-body, which it's made for. Rectilinear in spite of its very wide angle of view and definitely a lens I'm going to love.
