Originally posted by pingflood ? I have a 14/2.5, 20/1.7 and 45/1.8, neither of which I would call dark or expensive.
What I mean here is that the shorter register distance do not make the wideangles cheaper than in FF range with longer register distance.
14mm F2,5 vs 28mm F2,5 (actually it should be only F5) and price is normally close to 300€, but as we know there is lenses with lower prices which are taken from some kit, even half the price, but those are not always available.
20mm F1,7 vs 40-50mm F1,7, price normally about 350€, you can get 50mm F1,8 for FF les than 200€.
45mm F1,8 vs 85mm F1,8, not anymore an normal or wideangle, and seems to be cheap to do, because it is like a normal for FF, but with narrower angle of view.
Look specially at wideangle zooms.
