Hello group:
I've just bought my first lens for my "new" 10D; the Canon 28-105 f/3.5-4.5 USM. So far, it's been a great setup, and I'm looking to add something a bit wider, but still a zoom. My price range really is limited to $300-400, and unfortunately there's not a local retailer I can shop at and compare lenses with. So, I've come up with a online few choices, and I'd like some sage advice from those that have used any of the following:
Sigma 18-50mm f/3.5-5.6 (this is by far the least expensive)
Sigma 20-40mm f/2.8 EX
Sigma 15-30mm f/3.5-4.5 EX
I always shoot landscapes and the like outside, so I'm guessing a faster lens than any of the above wouldn't be needed. Any other lenses I should also consider, perhaps from Canon? I also thought about just starting with Canon's 18-55mm "kit" lens from a 20D or XT, which I've heard can be easily modded to fit my 10D. They're available for next to nothing, and even if they're quality-limited, I'd at least be able to get a feel for something in that focal-length range. Good idea/bad idea?
TIA for any thoughtful advice you may offer.
