RF wide angle - RF 15-35mm 2.8 vs RF 16-28mm 2.8

[snappy604]

Looking to get into a bit of landscape/wide angle photography. Finding the RF 24-70 2.8 is often not wide enough for indoors or landscape... trying to decide on a wide angle. Currently I fill the niche with a sigma 20mm 1.4 EF.. but it still isn't quite wide enough.


looking for some feedback between RF 15-35mm 2.8 vs RF 16-28mm 2.8

weather sealing is a maybe.. do get it wet from time to time but not a deciding factor

Landscapes are often stopped down, in which case there will be little if any IQ difference. Mostly it will come down to focal range (more is usually better), weight (the 16-28 is a lot lighter) and cost (the 16-28 is about half the cost.

If the 15-35/2.8 is in your budget, have you considered the 10-20/4?

I own the 15-35 f/2,8.
This lens is superb. Sharp into the farthest corners from 15mm to 35mm. And also extremely well-built, perfectly weather sealed (I used it several times in heavy rain).
I once tested the 16-28, it didn't convince me in comparison, neither optically, nor mechanically. If f/4 is ok with you, the 14-35 is an nice alternative, though I found the 15-35 better at 35mm, inn the corners, but not by a wide margin.
My personal opinion...
