Hey guys, so I'm trying to figure out which lens would be best to get for the wide on the pocket camera. I have around a 300 dollar limit and am looking for either an 8 or 10mm. I'd go even wider but that doesn't necessarily seem reasonable from what I've been able to find.
I'm currently looking at this: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/8 ... sheye.html (I plan on going with the nikon mount because I already have 3 nikon lenses that I will have an adapter for).
It's a little higher than what I'm trying to spend but I would love to have a cine lens for a follow focus (eventually, don't have the proper gear for that yet, but I like the possibility). But I can always just go with the regular photography option since they're optically the same from what I understand.
Are there any other choices within this price range that are optically as good or better? I was looking at 10mm c-mount lenses and they look good, but I have no idea how well any of them compare optically. Also, I'm sure I'll get a larger sensor eventually so it would be nice to already have bigger lenses.
So any thoughts?
p.s. I did a quick search and didn't find anything on this subject, so sorry if it's a repeat!
