I don't know whether I need a prime or zoom lens, but I'm sure I need lens with something between f/1.4-2.8. Itai Jamshy - Site

Not much choice there, at least with the wide aperture criteria. Even a Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 is about $450. You could try to find a used Sigma 17-35mm f/2.8-4 lens. They usually sell for about $125 or so on Ebay. "Everything will be alright. I'm from the government and I'm here to help."

Problem is: last sigma lens I bought had a problem with the 60D (I think it was the 20-75mm f/2.8), their zoom/aperture gets stuck. Itai Jamshy - Site

There is the Tokina 11-16mm f2.8! Thanks for Reading & Good Luck - Jim

I'll be in B&H probably in April... Wish we had B&H in Israel. I'll try searching the local store, probably they have used... Itai Jamshy - Site
