wide angle

[Tony Printezis]

I'd recommend the Tokina 12-24 f/4. Very sharp, costs less than the 10-22 and is built like a tank.

I did consider the Tokina too. But, the difference between 10mm and 12mm is actually not trivial. Look here for a nice comparison (top of page 2). So, in the end, I opted for the wider lens...

Katy the 10-22 is a great lens and with the ultra wides a tripod should not be anissue unless shooting at night...IE long exposure

I have found this thread (and website for that matter)VERY helpful. I just purchased my Canon 40D and am looking for a wide angle lens for landscapes as I am going to New Zealand next month and want to take some pix of the scenery w/o a tripod. I am a beginner but will invest in a good lens if I will be able to learn and grow with it. I was looking into the Canon 10-22 but am a bit concerned for the $$ and no tripod it would not be a good fit.


Thoughts??


Thanks much in advance!
