So I finally bit the bullet and got an SL2-S after shooting Sony for like a decade and I love the colors and the build but man I am totally hitting a wall with the lens situation. I expected them to be pricey but I didnt realize even the secondhand market for L-mount wide glass is this brutal right now. I spent most of my savings on the body because I wanted that sensor but now I am staring at a trip to the Italian Dolomites in three weeks and I basically have nothing wider than a 35mm and I feel like an idiot.

I need something for those big landscape shots but I literally cannot drop another three grand on the 21mm Super-Elmar-M or the Vario-Elmarit-SL. My budget is like $800 max which I know is cheap for Leica people but I am feeling really stuck. I tried looking at the Sigma 14-24 Art but its so bulky and heavy for hiking all day and the Lumix 18mm feels a bit plasticky but maybe thats my only option? I also thought about adapting some old M-mount stuff but I am worried about the corner smearing on the SL2-S sensor since I heard it can be an issue with some older wide designs. Honestly I just need something sharp enough that wont make me go bankrupt before I even get on the plane. What are you guys actually using that doesnt break the bank but still looks halfway decent on this body?
