I'm looking into getting a new wide-angle lens for my XTi. Does anyone have any experience with super wide angle lenses and know of any high quality lenses? Thanks alot

go to this, its a lens archive. shows prices for the most part and never buy from ritzcamera they are the biggest ripoffs.

yeah i buy from b and h everytime ritz is expensive, only really good for prints

I've been looking to get one of these as well. I'll probably get the Sigma 10-20 when I do end up buying one. It has good reviews and its a decent price. Espeically if you buy it through a dealer on ebay now using the live.com 25% coupon. You can get it for about $330 shipped.

I use a Tokina 17mm wideangle (Steel body). Keep in mind prime wide angles have less issues with vignetting than zooms.

I'd love to get a canon 10-22mm when I have the chance.

I went to ritz the other day to see how much they had the canon 50mm f1.8 for...and they were selling it for $130. B&H had it for 85 shipped.

Ritz ftl when it comes to lens buying.

so i did my first nightclub shoot yesterday and i def realized that the 1.8 50mm can take great shots but it is way to narrow for nightclub shoots. i guess i gotta start saving for the 17-85mm f2.8 i believe it is. took some nice shots of my dj buddy though.

yeah im partial to sigma i have a 8-200mm lens from them now and it rocks so im hoping the 10-20 will be just as powerful....

I should have picked up the 50mm for this business dinner i shot last night. Those lower f-stops would have been nice.

but with the lower stops you lose so much DOF it really sucks.i was shooting at 5.6 last night and the DOF wasnt what i though it would be.
