Calling all landscape, cityscape, and architecture photographers! For 15 years, I've chased the perfect ultra-wide angle lens, constantly facing compromises between perspective, sharpness, and practicality. What if we could break free? Join me as I unveil the blueprint for my dream lens – a practical, high-quality superzoom, ideally a 13-35mm or 14-40mm full-frame lens, specifically for Sony (but brand-agnostic in concept!). I'm challenging industry giants like Sony, Tamron, and Sigma to make this a reality, prioritizing a flat front element for easy filter use (82mm or smaller thread), lightweight design, robust weather sealing, corner-to-corner sharpness throughout the zoom and aperture range (ideally F8-F16), and a distinct sunstar (5 or 6 straight blades). Surprisingly, I believe we can compromise on wide apertures (F5.6 or slower is fine for tripod-based landscape work) and in-lens image stabilization (IBIS is often sufficient). Let's discuss this dream lens in the comments – what are your must-haves and where can we compromise? Share this with Sony, Sigma, and Tamron – let's make the ultimate landscape lens happen!
