Wide Angle Lens help?

[twelly27]

Hi all!

Just had my birthday and ive got some pennies to spend, so ive decided to go for a wide angle lens. but, were do i start? i dont want to spend thousands. i have seen someone suggest to a friend on twitter Samyang 8mm T3.8 fisheye which looks to be a good price. but does anyone have anything else to offer?

Respectfully, you need to take telescope advice from Twitter with a huge grain of salt.

That said, what scope and eyepieces do you already have?

how much do you have to spend and what focal legnth are you thinking about. And what do you aleady have?

depending on how much you have to spend i would be looking at a 10-20 lens you should be able to pick up a old version sigma 10- 20 4.5/56 pretty cheap now

If i can help it id rather not go over £350 i dont want somthing expensive anyway, not got the time or the good weather to get the use of it, ive seen many people suggest the Samyang 8 or 14mm fish eye lens, but if i can help it id prefer a wide angle lens that doesnt distort the image if you get me?

How about of of these, supposed to perform as good as televues at F5 and above and wayyyyyyyyy under the budget. 82 degrees is pretty dam good too.

You could even get the 6.7mm one and still be ok      http://www.explorescientific.co.uk/en/Eyepieces/Explore-Scientific-82-N2-Eyepiece-6-7mm-1-25.html
