good day...
the widest lens i currently carry in my field kit is a SS 110-XL. whilst it is indeed a wonderful lens, i have at times wished i could go a little shorter, and backing up a little bit was simply not possible. therefore, i am now considering adding a wider lens to my kit. as i do mainly landscape & backpacking, size and weight is important to me. i'd like to keep the lens in a copal 0 or copal 1, and the front filter 76mm or smaller.
the companion lens to my 110XL is the 80XL, and this was the first lens i thought about when i decided i'd be going wider. my question is simply:
how much wider is the 80 than the 110?
i'm trying to keep my field kit as streamlined as possible; i'm actually culling lenses from the mid range right now, as i have a few that are too close together, and i don't really want to carry around another lens if it's not going to give me an appreciably wider view. the difference between the 80 and 110 is nearly 1.5X, so i'm assuming there's going to be a fair amount of difference, but was hoping to hear from any of you guys that have both.
thanks,
scott
