• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Wide angle lenses for full frame Canon

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.
