Hey everyone, well I'm interested in landscapes and wide angle work, and I was wondering:

What are several very shaper and popular lenses that are WA and UWA?

If you have the cash I think the 16-35L is sharp wide open at 16mm. I've taken some incredible photos indoors at f2.8 and they were extremely sharp for a zoom..but it only WA on a 350D..for UWA you need the 10mm+ zooms


Just Steve lately....:confused: .....

and notice to in that extensive review Mr. Nikon picks the Canon EF-S 10-22mm above all others.

The Canon, Sigma and Tokina are all fine lens in this category.

canon 10-22 and sigma 10-20 have good reviews for 1.6 crops, and i believe that the sigma 12-24 is capable of having low falloff images on a ff camera.


I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.

Canon's 15mm f/2.8 works well on my 20D.
