  1. #1 Canon mount wide angle lens options 
    I am looking for a super wide angle lens, somewhere between a 10 and 20 mm,at least f2 if not faster. This is for canon mount. Anyone have any options here? Maybe some weird lens and adapter? Thanks guys.

    It's not the wide angle that's the issue, it's the "f/2 if not faster".

    Yeah, agreed. There are no wide angle still lenses I can think of that are F2 or faster. The fastest you can typically get is a 2.8.

    The most popular 2.8 wides I can think of are say:

    Tokina 11-16 2.8
    Leica R 19 2.8
    Canon 16-35 2.8

    If you want faster you'll have to go PL

    RPP 18 T2
    Super Speed 18 1.2
    Super Speed 14 1.2 (or is this a Standard Speed)

    Anyway...you get the idea.

    A lot of still lens wides are typically between 2.8 and up to F4.

    The Zeiss 18 is a 3.5 for example, and older versions were an F4.

    Honestly, buying more lights is going to be cheaper than getting a wide-angle lens at f/2 or faster.
