I searched the forums previously but figured I would make a new thread with some lens companies bringing new gear out.
I'm thinking of getting a new wide angle lens for the 2016 season. I have a 6D and 17-40L. I'm wondering if it would be worth upgrading to a shorter lens, like a 10 or 12mm. I'm not interested in a Tokina or Rokinon because I'm lazy and don't want to use manual focus (more seriously, I do non-storm photography where a manual focus lens isn't something I want). I'm not worried about the speed of the lens as the 6D has great high ISO performance.
My question: is it worth getting a shorter lens, or would you not really see a big difference in field of view from the 17-40? I have the Sigma 35mm ART and am blown away by it, so I'm looking at Sigma's 12-24 4.5-5.6. Is it really worth it to get the extra 5mm of length? My main goal is to get some good structure shots this season.
Thanks!
