I used Tokina FÍRIN 20mm F2 FE MF for many scenes as the widest angle lens while shooting "Kazoku Dessin". In all scenes shot with gimbal FÍRIN 20mm was used. This lens is so compact and lightweight, it helped me a lot when filming long scenes. Personally, I do not like perspective effect that super wide angle lens can create by capturing subject from low or high angle, so I shot mostly horizontally. Surprisingly, FÍRIN 20mm F2 FE MF performs very low distortion, resulting in natural, almost no distortion footage that is not common for other super wide angle lenses. Fast aperture F2 and quite comfortable tension of the focus ring made my shooting routine easy and efficient.
