18.3mm (28mm ff eq) prime lens?

[Rebel]

Are there any out there?

[Black Pearl]

Fuji make an 18mm f2 for their X-System which is pretty close at 27mm.
Panasonic make a 14mm f2.4 which is bang on 28mm for their Lumix range.
Nikon make an 18mm f2.8 again giving 27mm.

Thanks, I need one for my D7100

A range of 18mm primes available. What mount? Nikon 18x1.5=27 or Canon 18x1.6=28.8

Heres a link to the Nikon version: http://www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-pro...%252f2.8d.html

However why do you need a lens with exactly the equivalent FoV of a 28mm?

[Rebel]

I don't need it exactly that focal length - just between 28-35mm. But I've been shooting street stuff with a Ricoh GR II which is 18.3 and I'm used to working at that distance, so I want to replicate that with my D7100. If that makes sense?

[Rebel]

The 18.3mm is rare apparently and very expensive, so I might have to settle for the 24mm

What about the Sigma 10-20mm that is 15-30mm, nice lens also, have taken some great pictures with it mated to my old D7000.

Although a larger cash investment, the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM is ideally suited for the tasks that you describe.

I would also suggest the Sigma 18-35, but it is pretty massive, certainly in comparison to your Ricoh. Is this for a different project, or for street stuff at higher resolution (just out of curiosity)?

[Rebel]

street stuff, forget it now though I bought a 2nd hand D600 with a 35mm lens

Matt,

The 12-24mm f/4 Tokina Mark-2 might be what you are looking for... On your Nikon it is an 18-36mm equivalent. The price isn't too bad either here in the USA, however I don't have the pricing for the U.K.

I use the 12-24mm Tokina f/4 Mark-1 on my Canon crop cameras and it does a very nice job.

I use this lens on my D500. Great sharpness and color. At the low end (under 18mm), it does start to exhibit typical "ultra wide" distortion. Great lens, especially at the price point.
