This ultra-wide prime is a masterclass in manual control for landscape and astro photographers who prefer precision over automation. You sacrifice the convenience of autofocus for a robust, weather-sealed build and a de-clicked aperture that makes it as capable for cinematic video as it is for sharp, expansive stills.
