It depends what you call inexpensive...

The classfied section on here is as cheap as any...

I picked my case up from a bargain bin for 4.99! It's small, discreet and does the job without having 28 pockets and zips :)
Fisheye lenses don't tend to be overly cheap, although I'm sure you can pick up a 3rd party or second hand one for a couple of hundred.
With wide angle lenses you have a lot of choice especially if you consider second hand. I used a Sigma 17-70mm (the old version without IS) and it served me very well for a long time, and you can get one for £180 or so on Ebay or the TP classifieds.

I don't agree that it's worth paying for a Hoya Pro filter, you'll only notice a difference on a pixel-sized level and will certainly not affect the overall look of your pictures on a 450D. In my opinion you should stick with the entry level HMC versions until you spend £1000 or so on a lens!

I know it seems finicky but by definition 17mm is wide angle. On your 450D, because of the small sensor compared to something like a 7D, you actually get a narrower field of view. If you wanted more you'd have to get something like the Tokina 12-24, Sigma 10-20mm or Canon 10-22mm (that list is sorted by ascending price!)

Hope that helps!
