>>3849757I've been thinking more about a lens wider than the 17mm f/1.8 prime I already have. The field of view with the 17mm is good for street photography, landscape photography and even long exposure night photography, but it's not the greatest thing ever when it comes to photographing architecture.
I recently took a 25mm Zeiss Distagon lens on a walk around the city with a camera loaded with Kodak Tri-X, and I really loved how I could easily fit the whole building into the shot, without even needing to angle the camera up. Sort of eliminated the need for something like a shift lens (which are obscenely priced).
The Olympus equivalent lens is the 12mm f/2 prime, which is... more than the cost of any of the other Olympus primes (except the 75mm) and is also a 1/3 stop darker (not that it would really matter at that focal length). So, that's what made me think of the 7-14mm, because at the widest end, it's hard to get an UW lens with that brightness without the fisheye, and at the long end, it at least meets the field of view of equivalent 25mm.
But, I don't really see much advantage to having it in 2021 if there's still Corona around, and traveling to another city is out of the question, so the telephoto lenses are more interesting for nature/bird photography and also some other stuff. Photographing cargo ships at sea or in port would be kinda cool.
