I'm currently looking for a wide angle lens for my S2.
The obvious bargain is the 28mm f2.8 which is said to be superb, plus it's lightweight. 2nd hand prices seem to be around £150.
The 25mm f2.8 is said to be more 'soulful' but costs twice as much as the 28mm f2.8. 2nd hand prices seem to be around £250-300.
The 28mm f2 is obviously a superb lens, heavy though, and costs a fortune, if you can get one. The going rate seems to be £400+ for a good 2nd hand one.
There is very little difference between a 28mm and 25mm in terms of field of view, so I'm not too bothered which one I go for. As the main use for a wide angle will be landscape/architecture, is the loss of one f-stop actually going to loose me anyting? Does anyone actually use the 28mm f2 AT f2??
Basically is the 25mm f2.5 worth the extra over the 28mm f2.8, and is the 28mm f2 worth the extra over the 25mm f2.8??
Thanks,
Jon
