Wide angle Lens

[imabhi]

Hi All,

I would like to buy wide angle lens(Canon Mount) for my "Interior Photo Shoot"...can anyone please suggest me good economical wide angle lens to buy.

What do you mean by interior photo shoot? Shooting architecture / houses inside? Shooting people inside? It will help to know those things.

I can say that I like the Sigma 10-20mm because of the price, but I'm not a Canon user so I can't speak from personal experience on Canon lenses.

On a crop body then look at a 10-22 canon or 10-20 sigma

Also look at a 15mm fisheye, although not ideal for interiors

The Canon EF-S 10-22mm USM lens is very, very good!

I am also looking at a super wide angle lens. After a bit of research, there are three options that look good:

Sigma 10-20mm f3.5
Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6
Canon 10-22mm

Talking to some pros and looking at online reviews, I am going for the Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6. The Sigma is neck in neck with the Canon although half the price. The new f3.5 Sigma shows some poor signs of quality.

See the following comprehensive reviews:

Sigma f4-5.6
Sigma Lens: Zooms - Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM (Tested) - SLRgear.com!

Sigma f3.5
Sigma Lens: Zooms - Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 EX DC HSM (Tested) - SLRgear.com!

Canon
Canon Lens: Zooms - Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM (Tested) - SLRgear.com!

Given the quality and value for money, Im going to go with the Sigma 10-20 f4-5.6.

Hope this helps.

im also looking for a wide angle lens . to take a group shoot at my family reunion on the beach. I have a nikon d50 and i seen the sigma 10-20mm . what is the difference between fisheye and wide angle lens? i think i might answered my own question but just want to make sure.

[sybren]

A fisheye is a wide-angle lens. There is a difference between fisheye lenses and rectilinear lenses. The latter keep straight lines straight, the former does not. You want a rectilinear lens. You can safely assume that a lens that hasn't been marked as "fisheye" is a rectilinear lens.

Just got my new Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6. Let me know if you would like me to post some shots on Flickr.
