Look at the Sigma 10-20, Tokina 11-16, Canon 10-22, or for a prime lens, the Rokinon/Samyang 14. The Sigma 10-20 comes in f/4-5.6, and f/3.5. If you don't need a fast lens, the f/4 will save you some money. I don't own the Tokina, but there are many here that rave about it.

Will check those out, thanks! Should've mentioned I will be using this lens for quick portraits of my girlfriend along the way. Don't think I'd like to go as wide at 10mm. Looking for a focal range similar to that of a kit lens, just with better image quality, sharpness, color etc...

Thanks!

16-35Lis a great lens, but not really wide angle on a crop sensor.. Tokina 11-16 is great... Be careful taking portraits with a wide angle lens.. Your girlfriend might not enjoy the distortion

Yea, which is why on the long end the 16-35L would be a bit better for a *quick portraits I think. Ideally I'd use something like a 24-70mm on a full frame, but I don't like traveling with too much gear.
Also considered 17-40L, but I haven't read good reviews for that glass.

Some from today.

Can anyone recommend good wide angle glass to put on my T3i?

Traveling in a month and considering renting a 16-35L for the trip.... Good?
Want to get some good landscape/cityscape shots.

I absolutely LOVE the 15~85mm! If I wasn't shooting macro or with my 100~400mmL, that was all I used since I got it. I can't say enough good things about it!

The 11-16 is an awesome lens! It's on my list!

10-22 is pretty nice esp on the 600D.

One more from the weekend

I like the 10-22mm. Not perfect when it is wide open, but absolutely crystal-clear shots. And a steal when compared to L glass.

AR15, I have the 17-40L and it is a really great piece of glass. On the T3i it is not the widest lens, but for what it does, it does really well.

Yea, probably gonna go with that, or the 16-35..
I want to get some quality prints from this trip, which is why leaning towards L glass. Thanks guys!

If I had the money for the 16-35 I don't know which I would choose between the 17-40 and the 16-35. I really love the look that my 17-40 produces and I guess being there are both L glass, I don't know that I would spend the extra just for the extra 1mm. Yes I think the images on the 16-35 do look amazing, but so do the ones on the 17-40. Maybe I would just buy the new 6D body I want and keep the 17-40. LOL

Oh trust me, I rather not spend the $$ on any of those lol, that's why I'm using borrowlenses. I'd rather invest my $$$ in a prime!
