Outstanding For Ariel Helicopter Photos & More!

April 09, 2024
I have been using this lens now for the past few years and love it! I usually grab this lens when I am doing helicopter photo flights with others or just for personal use images for helicopter photo flights. The ability to quickly and smoothly zoom in and out from 12mm "all the way" 24mm with a short twist is great. For those that need / want to use drop in filters they are sold separately and used in the rear of the lens as the front element on this lens is INSANE. It's super bulbous and really sick (in a good way...). I love the constant F2.8 abilities though for the most part I will tend to stop down just a tiny bit for landscape. If you are a landscape photographer in any capacity, this is a killer lens to add to your collection. I personally am not into street photography though this would be a really killer lens to add to your collection if you are into those ultra wide angles or are shooting in really tight spaces.

Plus, with the trade-in trade-up, tax free, 36 month free financing, why not?... Read More  Hide

Using this lens has been a joy. I used a 14mm prime before and it was just not wide enough. My real estate clients love the photos. This lens does a fantastic job in handling the flares when taking photos of the exteriors on a sunny day. This lens is super sharp even wide open at f2.8. The only gripes I have are the price ($3k!) and the distortion at 12mm which I expected with this lens and is correctable in post.... Read More  Hide
