f2 at 300mm is extremely fast...Just fast enough to perhaps qualify it as an X-Ray, Oscillocope or some other industrial use lens like the Kowa 77mm f1.1? The Kowa is also very fast and fixed focus...

Suggesting he get the fastest possible lens and then suggesting that he should get a zoom is surely an Oxymoron if ever there was one because zooms are never going to be the fastest possible lenses...

Do you mean you want suggestions for lenses that are better for architecture shots than the Sigma 10-20mm?
If so, perhaps the Tamron SP 17mm f3.5 or the Tokina 17mm f3.5 RMC?

Or he could save a lot of money and get a much sharper and faster, used, 300mm prime lens like the Tamron SP 300mm f2.8 LD IF (60B model). Yes, the 60B is manual focus but wide open the Tamron would...

I'm not keen on mirror lenses at all but I do have one that I think is worth considering instead of the Nikon 1000mm f11...The Russian MTO 1000A 1100mm f10.5...It offers a 100mm FL advantage yet its...

They are good lenses...In the States the most common brand name used for them is Rokinon and many people swear by them. Unlike the Zeiss 85mm f1.4 Planar T* they can be used wide open without CA or...
