Hi,

Im selling my 450d and 18-55 kit lens, and will need a new wide angle,
I do a bit of portraiture and alot of sport, I feel I will a new wide angle cause the smallest I will have will be 50mm 1.8..

I was wondering should I go for the 10-20mm cause i can get great effects at sport like motocross at 10mm and can get a big family portrait in aswell ..? Would it be suitable for both?

If anyone has this lens and can report some feedback that would be great.

comments back will be much appreciated

Hi Jayo

I've had this lens and it is great fun to use producing nice sharp images. You do have to get very close at 10mm to get a decent sized image - I am no expert at motocross but feel that this might be a problem. You will also get distortion at the edges so using for family groups might lead to odd looking faces etc. Good luck.
 
i have a 10-20 and only really use it for landscapes and indoor shots. have used it at a skate park but thats when i can get within a foot of the skater. as said above it would be too wide for portrait.

i just got a 24-70 f2.8 which is a great all round lens and would be better for portrait and depending how close you can get to the motorcross would be ok for that as well
