Well, heck, being a lens nut, I will add a few:
- a COMPACT, inexpensive, focusing 6mm f5.6 retrofocus (220 degree) fisheye.
- a COMPACT, inexpensive, focusing 8mm f4 retrofocus (180 degree) fisheye.
- a 17 or 18mm superwide with a smooth and strong barrel distortion (less
than a true fisheye, though) - f5.6 max. is OK.
- a copy of the recent Pentax 17-28mm (?) fisheye zoom.
- a PC 20,22, or 24mm lens (f5.6 OK).
- a TS 50, 75, and/or 90mm f2.8 lens (75mm would be about right....).
- a 35-70mm f2 that is really good at f2, or a 28-85mm f2.8 that is really
good at f2.8 (otherwise the speed is useless).
- a 28-105mm f4 that is really good at f4.
- a 100-300mm f4 that is really good at f4, and is not too large/heavy/expensive.
- a really good 300mm f5.6 mirror.
(The above should be really, really sharp, or what's the point? ;-)
Hope This Helps
