Re: [artshow_photo] Suggestions for good wide angle Canon lens

 

I'm a professional assistant photographer, and I work with a number of pros.
The consensus among those I work with is that while Canon usually makes very
good equipment, their wide zooms are often not very good. In a number of
cases third party lenses are superior. As a result, check out the 12-24mm
F4Tokina AT-X AF Pro DX II and the Tokina AF 11-16mm F2.8 At-x 116 Pro DX.
I have an earlier version of the 12-24, and it's a very good lens.

Canon's wide non-zoom lenses are very good. I just got to look at 17mm
tilt/shift, and it's impressive looking. The pro who owns it is very
impressed. You'd want to be very careful with the super-curved front
element. It looks like the front element of a Metrogon.
