hi ...

im looking at getting a wide angle lens for the 400d

ive spent many hours browsing the net and to be honest..im completely and utterly lost as to which one :shrug:

any thoughts and reasons pls

also would people reccomend sticking with canon lenses or is it worth looking at sigma/tamron etc ?

(tbh ive handled a few tamron lenses and they feel so cheap and plastic)

thx
 
the choices you have are sigma 10-20 or canon 10-22mm. Thy are both quite good but i beleive the canon edges ahead in IQ and performance. Its really your decision if the price difference is worth it.
 
Sigma 10-20 works nicely for me. Though I'm not really at a level where IQ might be an issue. The only thing I have noticed is some quite obvious chromatic aberation, but you can fix this quite easily in photoshop.
 
The Canon 10-22 is the best.
The Sigma 10-20 is by far the most popular.

The one I'd be taking a really good look at if I had a crop sensor camera is the tokina. I think it's an 11-17, is faster than the others and has had some good write ups.
 
I have the Sigma 10-20 and absolutely love it :love: I've never shot with the Canon 10-22 but I've always found the IQ from the Sigma to be excellent
 
I have the sigma 10-20mm it is good but has short comings it is a very unforgiving lens and is in the ultra wide class, i much prefer the 15mm-30mm sigma this is a much better wide angle lens <<< in my humble opinion,

regards Mark.
 
Well if you're just about to, coffee please. Strong, black, no sugar. :D
 
fax it. :thumbs:
 
I was going to suggest the Ef 17-40 f4L if you don't want a super wide lens, this one is great on a cropped sensor...
 
As assuming you have the 18-55 kit lens and want something wider.

Canon 10-22
Sigma 10-20
Sigma 12-24 (I believe this works on FF cameras if you envisage upgrading to a 5D)
Tokina 11-16 or 10-17

The Sigma is supposed to be pretty good, the Canon is top notch.

Depends how serious you are about turning out the best you can...
 
Just got myself a sigma 10-20 for my Nikon, absolutely love it. Probably my favourite lens in my kit.
 
The Canon definitely then! Remember of course this won't work on any non-APS-C sized sensors though (xxxxD, xxxD and xxD families at the moment)
 
remember the crop though, not a wide as you first think :( some on my 40D
 
If money is not an issue, then go with the Canon 10-22 every time. Saying that, the Sigma is not far off, at all...
 
ive used both of these and i found the sigma a much better build. The canons optics were good but not far off the sigma.
