Hi,

I have a Canon 500D with the stanard 18-55mm lens.

I'm off to NY soon and would love a wide angle lens but funds don't really permit.

Is there any kind of lens I can clip/screw onto my existing lens to create a wide angle lens?

Thanks,

Nick.
 
Could I suggest maybe lens rental?

lensesforhire.co.uk allow rentals to be taken out the country for no extra cost, their prices seem competitive and include insurance. They only ask you tell them during booking and that you tell them what you are going to use the lens for.

I suggest reading their FAQ's as it is quite good and a lot of info there. They will also aim to deliver the lens to you the day before your rental period begins so you get a full x days worth of use.

Also providing you are a UK resident and over the age of 18 there is no deposit to pay.

Good idea thanks!

I just thought I remembered a clip on extra bit you could put on the end of the normal lens???
 
I know the sort of add-ons you mean, ebay is littered with them when you are trying to look for a decent second hand lens.

I came across the idea when somebody suggest I should rent lenses before I buy them so that I know what I am buying.

You will also get a much better quality from a proper wide angle lens rather than a crappy add-on.
