finally getting around to buying a wide angle for my a6400 before my iceland trip next month. been looking at the samyang 12mm f2 but i heard the af on the new one is kinda wonky and i really dont want to mess with manual focus while i'm hiking in the wind. then i saw the tamron 11-20 but that's way too expensive for me right now.
- budget is like $400 absolute max
- need autofocus for sure
- mostly for landscapes and maybe some astro
- has to be light enough for a backpack
what else is out there that isnt gonna break the bank? maybe a used viltrox or something? i'm just lost with all the options honestly...

- I unfortunately had issues with the one I got that had massive optical aberrations...
- Checking technical data like MTF charts really helps when you feel lost among all these budget options.
