No 12mm rectilinear FF lens?

wrote: Not really because with the APS-C format you can design the rear element of a lens closer to the image plane, which turns out to be pretty crucial with super-wide lenses. A full frame SLR's mirror would probably smash itself into pieces against the Sigma lens you mention. That's actually not correct, as the Sigma 8-16 will mount on any Nikon FX SLR body. The mirror will not touch the rear of the lens. It will however vignette. I'd rather have you try this on your camera. I don't have an 8-16 to try, but the Sigma 10-20 and Nikkor 12-24 mount on Nikon FX with no problems. The Sigma vignettes at all focal lengths, the Nikkor doesn't at over 18mm, but both are lousy outside APS-C crop size of the 35mm frame (very soft). Not all "Nikon FX" cameras have the same sized mirror or an identical amount of mirror clearance. This is a function of viewfinder magnification and other factors. as far as the lenses are concerned they do. The Nikon F has a bigger mirror than the FM3A, for example. I'm sure there are many different sizes and that there is a specification for the maximum depth that a lens can protrude into the mount somewhere. other than a couple of lenses that protrude into the mirror box and require mirror lockup, there is no issue. So I'd rather have you try this on your camera. no need. |

Yes and then try to find a modern camera where the mirror can be locked into the up position without returning after the exposure. Otherwise, ker-smash! Nope. "Nope" eh? Nope what? Presumably "nope" - as there's no problem mounting a Nikkor 13mm f5.6 AI lens on any modern Nikon (D)SLR, DX or FX. There were a couple of circular fisheye lenses made by Nikon about half a century ago - requiring cameras with full mirror lockup. |

If it's so /crucial/ to get the lens rear element close to the image plane, then how come the best performing ultra-wide lenses are for SLR formats? They aren't. The best performing ultra-wide lenses are for the rangefinder format. Followed by cine. Example(s) at the 12-14mm (equiv FOV range) please. Talk is cheap. Well forget "equivalent," the 12mm Voigtlander is the only full-frame 12mm rectilinear lens. How about we restrict the conversation to 12mm lenses only? Sigma make a 12 (-24mm zoom) rectilinear lens for "full-frame" 35mm slr / FX format, so the 12mm voigtlander is not the only 12mm full frame rectilinear lens. There are plenty of sample images on the web of the 12mm voigtlander used with Sony NEX7 (full-frame mirrorless). It looks like it doesn't perform significantly better or worse than the Sigma 12-24 @ 12mm, sharp in the centre, soft in the edges, more vignetting with the voigtlander, looks like more distortion with the Sigma. The Sigma is prone to flare (original version - perhaps the second version is better). |

No 12mm rectilinear FF lens?
Perhaps another question: is there any rectilinear lens wider than 12mm,
or is that physically impossible? What is the widest rectilinear lens which is theoretically possible? -- Alfred Molon Olympus E-series DSLRs and micro 4/3 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |
