Wide angle lenses for full frame Canon

[DerekBaker]

Hi. I could use some feedback & advice regarding camera lenses.

Right now, the widest lens I have for my Canon 5D MkII is a Sigma 15mm f2.8 that I have been pleased with. However I still find that I'd like to go wider when shooting supercells, lightning, and otherwise interesting skies. Most short focal-length lenses and zooms are made for cameras with the smaller APS sensors, so my options may be rather limited.

Have any of you had experience shooting weather/sky phemonenae with the Sigma 12-24mm zoom lens?

What about the Canon 8-14mm fisheye zoom?

Thanks!

Derek

I think if you need wider than 15mm effective focal length in the world of Canon, you'll have to move into the "fish-eye" realm. I personally couldn't justify the purchase of the 12-24 if I had the 15 if you're interested in more FOV.
