Sounds like you understood my doubts, thanks for replying
I have handled this lens before, it’s not like I’m looking at 10mm for the first time, but I never took it on an assignment, this is the first time I have it at home, which obviously is a little different. So far, I’m seeing perspectives of my home that I had never seen, and that’s fun, but it’s not work.
I can imagine some criative uses for this lens, such as:
— Group shots of people interacting with the camera (the kind we usually see with fish-eye lenses);
— Extreme-wide views of rooms like wedding venues, concert halls or halls;
— Extreme-wide views of concerts from the pit (though many concerts I photograph do not have a pit, because often it’s classical music);
— Someone walking a room and me using the wider angle to make the room huge and the subject miniscule
However, I believe 16mm could be enough in most of these scenarios and, to be honest, I don’t shoot at 16mm that often, its use constitutes less than 10% of my photography.
I’ve had situations, at weddings, where the 16mm could not autofocus due to low light (usually at the dance floor, when lights are dimmed). I suppose it would be a lot worse with this 10-20 (I’m talking One Shot AF).
I bought the lens for the price, and because I know I can profit from it. Now that I have it in my possession, I’m just trying to make sure I won’t regret selling it, because definitely I’ll never see this price again.
