Confusion and Suggestions for Wide Angle

[crosbyharbison]

The Sigma 8-16mm was just announced 2 months ago, and is not available yet. Tough to tell if you will be able to get it by the summer.

ApparentlyAbe's has it: <span class="small_field_value_nb"]<span style="color: #008000; font-size: x-small;"]Available ( Limited Quantity )

Canon 10-22 [Y]


Had one, sold it with my 20D thinking I wouldnt need it once I bought the 16-35 L II. Wrong!


Going to buy another one as soon as I can afford it. [*-)]

And while the 10-22 is not known to be a fantastic lens for portraiture (mostly because of the distortion around the edges of the frame), it certainly is handy when space is an issue. Take this shot, for example, which I took last night using the 10-22...

I love this. The angle is wonderful, yes, but the colors are also gorgeous!

I would try to recommend the Tokina 11-16 2.8 (for crop body) like the 40D. Its sharp &amp; fast. Great for wide angles in low light. You might want to try the Sigma 10mm 2.8 fisheye.Like the above mentioned, its sharp &amp; great in low light shooting as well. If you like exaggerated distortion, this is your tool. You can "de-fish" it with PTLens.
