What is your favorite superwide lens, with stipulations. Must be a budget lens meaning L glass need not be mentioned. Also, must be able to work on a full frame camera (EF, no EF-S). Any brand welcomed.
Discuss :)

I wish I had the experience to be able to provide a worthy recommendation, but weren't you the person that was fluffing the Tokina...what is it a 11-16 f2.8...back when I was doing my wide angle zoom lens search? I know it gets good ratings.

Well, it's hardly "budget glass" but what's the point of listing super wides made of plastic? Nikon 14-24 is my favorite. Full frame, full performance.

Beauty! Just curious: did you adjust contrast / color curves at all in the pic posted? And do you know who washed, waxed, & buffed the car before the wedding? Every time I look at the pic, my eyes glaze over when I hit the color of the car and I have trouble pulling 'em away.

My favorite lens is my 17-55/2.8. Beautiful glass and super sharp. I don't own a full frame body so have very few FF lenses. I also like my sigma 10-20 for more creative stuff but it is not the caliber of glass as the Nikon 17-55.

Haha. Yes, I upped vibrance a couple notches and boosted the contrast just a bit. I did it on purpose, it's not supposed to look 100% natural. But I think it turned out awesome!

Personally I like nearly everything about it. The depth of field blurring the B&G and guests in background. Rich over saturated almost cartoon like colors. Reflections of guests, and I'm guessing you, in the paint. It really is a great image that you can dig deeper in to and holds the viewers attention. It definitely a great image. I'd love to see another frame with the B&G's face but I'm not sure it would end up being a better image as I do kind of like the abstraction you get by cropping them out of the frame.

thanks a lot Phish :) I'm the reflection on the left. Here's a couple more, even though I'm sure it'll let you down, haha:
