The OP tells us that a trip to Iceland is driving this lens. I infer from that , and from the statement that low light situations are involved, that the Northern Lights are a key target here. F/2.8 seems important. Filters do not.


I am planning to visit Iceland next may and am curious what is driving your need for a wide or ultra wide lens. Has someone you know been and advised you?

No, I've not been. But friends have. They have used ultrawide lenses primarily for the Northern Lights. The aurora are mostly a winter phenomenon. Don't know how visible they will be in May.
