Ultra-Ultrawide Lenses Compared
The Widest of the Wide

This all-content, junk-free website's biggest source of support is when you use any of these links to approved sources when you get anything, regardless of the country in which you live. Nikon and Canon do not seal their boxes, so never buy at retail or any source not on my personally approved list since you'll have no way of knowing if you're missing accessories, getting a defective, dropped, damaged or used lens, a customer return or if the warranty has already been registered to someone else online! The approved sources I use ship from secure, remote automated warehouses where salespeople or other customers never, ever get to touch your camera, and they have the best prices, selection, service and return policies.

Which is widest and best: the Canon 11-24mm, Nikon 13mm f/5.6, Nikon 14-24mm, Canon 14mm f/2.8 L or Canon 16-35mm f/4 IS? Let's shoot them where we need them and find out.

I had a small space inside a fine home to snap. Only the Canon 11-24mm was wide enough to fit the entire table and entire chandelier. Even the mighty Nikon 13mm wasn't wide enough.

Compared         top

There's no comparison here: only the Canon 11-24mm was wide enough to get it all in. It's the sharpest, too.

No news here, the Canon 11-24mm is newest and best.

The Canon 14mm f/2.8 L is the softest.

I support my growing family through this website, as crazy as it might seem.

The biggest help is when you use any of these links to approved sources when you get anything, regardless of the country in which you live. It costs you nothing, and is this site's, and thus my family's, biggest source of support. These places have the best prices and service, which is why I've used them since before this website existed. I recommend them all personally.

If you find this page as helpful as a book you might have had to buy or a workshop you may have had to take, feel free to help me continue helping everyone.

If you've gotten your gear through one of my links or helped otherwise, you're family. It's great people like you who allow me to keep adding to this site full-time. Thanks!
