Good wide-angle zoom?

[LauraSAnne]

I'm thinking about getting the Canon 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 but the price is a bit steep. Are there any similar quality lenses for less?

OR, what are your personal opinions on this lens?

I've heard a LOT of good stuff about the Tokina 11-16mm, it's a constant 2.8 which is pretty fast for a wide angle. I got to play with it for the first time last night, and was pretty pleased with the "build feel" I don't know how much it costs, but I do know that the shorter a zoom range you have, the better the image quality will be, all else being equal. Check DSLRgear.com and see what their reviews say, there is also a Sigma 10-20mm that's worth looking at.
