Originally posted by LensBeginner I couldn't do without my 10-20/3.5, it follows that I couldn't do without the 15-30mm if I had FF.
It's (both are) a specialty lens, however, and you could do with just the 24-70 and the other lenses you have ATM.
But for those 1-in-20, hell even 1-in-10 shots, I really need my UWA.
It's kind of the same for me, that's the reason I'm leaning towards the 15-30. I can live with the size and heft, I can save a bit more and bite the bullet, but the filters a re a bit of a pain in the a$$, as I definitely cannot bring them around as I do now with the 82mm in a casual Think Tank retrospective bag...if you get what Im' saying...

12 months from now, or when a sale is on, look again?
I've had the 12-20 for almost 4 years now and as much as I love it and use it in crop mode on the K1 (and it's OK), I'm losing the full benefits of the FF format, plus, my copy of the 10-20 has to be stopped down quite radically to improve corners sharpness...which for landscape is doable, but not always...
I've been pondering this move since I got back from my last trip where almost 50% of the shots I took were on the 10-20...

Well...stitching is what I'd do to compensate for the widest shots, that was my first thought. I do it quite often for panorma shots.
The only thing is that shooting 4 or 5 pics to get one doesn't give you the feel for the "real" pic when you are still in the field...so it's a bit of a hit or miss situation, and you only find out when you are in front of the computer...
