wide angle

I'm working on getting some interior photo of a house taken with a D30 and want to know if this lens would work(Canon FD mount 15 mm )? If not, could someone suggest an alternative lens wide enough for shooting rooms of a house? Thank you in advance . . .--Rob

The d30 as well as all the canon eos film and digital slr cameras have a different mount than the older FD lenses.

The 14mm L f2.8.

It works wit a adapter but nowei you get 15mm becuase the adapeter eets 20% and the smal sensor eets anotther 60% so you remain wit a 29mm. Get a EF 14mm USM L

Yes, I wouldn't normally think of Sigma, either...

Canon makes a FDtoEOS lens converter. Try B&H for details.

I own the Sigma 14mm and it's a sweet piece of glass, but it creates lots of converging verticals in architectural shots, which then must be fixed (as best as possible) in PhotoShop (or the likes). Even keeping the film plane perfectly perpendicular to the floor doesn't completely eliminate the effect. It's simply the nature of the beast when using an ultra wide angle lens.

The Canon 17-35mm L lens is wonderful.

I've seen this same question before. Most of the answers from all threads concerning this recommend the same. The Canon 17-35 2.8 is a great piece of glass ! I agree! Totally! It's my main lens for the D30. BUT it's not very wide on he D30. I had several Eos 35 cameras and the 28-138 IS was my 2nd lens. (my first was a 22-55 from a IX Lite APS SLR, great light very wide zoom but not up to the Canon 1st quality, but good and wide and cheap $130 @ B&H) I really love the 28-135 IS but in less that good light, it's not my 1st choice for the D30. My 3rd was the 17-35 2.8 and from then on I was in love with it. I was somewhat dissapointed that it was just a really great "normal" zoom for the D30 after really loving it for wide stuff on a 35mm. Being a wide-angle "freak" I already had a Sigma 14 2.8 and on the D30 I think it's what your looking for. The distortion mentioned is very pronounced on a 35mm but "that's the nature of superwides" not low quality of the Sigma. On the D30 that is much less pronounced and as the shots on the http://www.luminous-landscape.com/sigma_14mm.htm site show, it's really a keeper! (It also is not cheap, $800)
