We are headed to Seattle and Vancouver. The widest lens I have is the 17-55 f/2.8 IS.
Is the Canon 10-22 or 3rd party worth the investment?
Just thought I would ask.

I think 17 would be wide enough. But you're the one that would determine that.

All three were taken with 17-40. (2nd one is cropped of course)

Today, I finally stopped putting off the decision of buying an Ultra Wide Lens. I took advantage of the Canon instant rebate and bought the Canon 10-22 f/ 3.5-4.5.
Looks like it should get a nice workout while out west.
Great pictures Speed and Tawcan.

17mm is fairly wide for sure.
If you dont find it wide enough just stitch a couple shots!

Dont miss out Kerry Park and the shots from Saltys-Alki beach. I actually used the 70-200 @ 200 and did a panorama and got an awesome image!

The Canon 17-55 f/2.8 IS lens is a great versatile general purpose lens. For UWA territory,
I went with the faster Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 lens.
