Looking for a good wide angle lens for the 20D. Any suggestions?

I have the 10-22 zoom wide lens and works very well with my 20D. When you are at 10mm, the photo gets distorted at the top corners. Kinda like a slight fish-eye effect. <BR> <BR>This lens is the "EF-S" version which means it will only work on the 20D and rebel series. So, if you plan to go Full Frame, like 5D, it will not fit. <BR> <BR>But overall, this lens is superb, sharp pictures, great wide coverage and light. <BR> <BR>Read the review of this lens at <BR><a href="http://www.fredmiranda.com/reviews/showproduct.php?product=221&amp;sort=7&amp;cat=27& amp;page=3" target="_blank">http://www.fredmiranda.com/reviews/showproduct.php?product=221&amp;sort=7&amp;cat=27& amp;page=3</a>

Check out the Canon 10-22 and the Sigma 12-24.

i would recommend the 17-40L, its an incredible lense and has gotten very high ratings. check <a href="http://www.fredmiranda.com" target="_blank">www.fredmiranda.com</a> for good reviews and ratings of all lenses

I HAVE THE 17-40 L SERIES...AND IT IS SUCH A GREAT LENS, FAST AND CRISP

I use the Canon 10-22mm <BR> <BR>Here are some shots from yesterday out on Lake Medina.

The Canon EF 16-35 f/2.8L USM is a great lens too.

dennish 11-28-2006 5:10 PM

Anyone have a Tamron 11 - 18.

wakeboardertj 11-29-2006 7:43 PM

i just looked through my 17-40L on a full frame camera, all i have to say is WOW, i had no idea how wide angle it was when not on a 1.4crop camera body. i love this lense even more now!

scott_a 11-29-2006 8:08 PM

yep. 1.6x crop bodies really cut a lot out of wide angles...Hell, even going from 1.6x to 1.3x was a huge difference.

clubmyke 12-03-2006 9:01 AM

i have a 17-40 on a 30d... i wish i could get more... <BR> <BR>has anyone tried the tamron 11-18 or have any other suggestions ?

sixeye 12-03-2006 5:43 PM

Awesome sunset pics, Swami!

wakeboardertj 12-04-2006 2:00 PM

oops, ya i meant 1.6, not 1.4. <BR> <BR>is the 30d a 1.3?
