Hello,
Don't know much about wide angle lenses so I need you guys to tell me what is the best Canon lenses out there for wide angle...
I've heard about the Canon Zoom Super Wide Angle EF 17-40mm f/4L USM
What do you think?

nwyman Cream of the Crop  More info | Sep 27, 2006 16:49 | #5 I have both - and while I like the 17-40, I think I prefer the 10-22. Have'nt had it all that long to really experiment with. 17-40 is a nice walk around lens, but the 10-22 works best in those really tight spaces. EOS 6D, SX50HS, Tamron 150-600
