    Hi All,

    I don't know too much about these type of lenses, just that I need to get one!! Not looking for a fisheye one just one that will take good wide angle shots. I've used Sigma lenses and found them ok.

    Can anyone suggest a particular lens I should be looking for etc?

    Thanks

    I have the Canon EF-S 10-22mm and find it lovely for wide angles. Nice for landscapes.

    Last time i checked in a normal shop not eBay i think was around 900€

    I would prefer to go to Sigma 10-20EX (If you don't want to spend so much)

    I've only got 6 lenses. Not that many. 3 primes and a few zooms.

    Is that allowed?

    Not sure what I paid for the 10-22mm but it wasn't that expensive.

    The Sigma 10-20mm is a great lens, do a search for it and you will find plenty of threads about it.

    This shot was taken with it.

    I've got Sigma 10-20mm. It might be a little bit soft, but overall not a bad lens. Wife bought it for me in Hall Cameras and paid around 500EUR, but you can get one on ebay a lot cheaper.
