What wide-angle zoom lens should i get?
Let me see if I have this right, you bought a $4,000 camera and now you want to put a generic lens on it, is that right? Usually, the investment is in the lenses first, using the least expensive camera body that can be found and then when the system is large enough to support the needs of your clients or your own, you start putting money away for the next camera in your system, usually something like the one you have now. This is really the only Canon lens that will supply you with an excellent wide angle capability and the quality you can expect from your excellent camera, the 16-35 mm f/2.8. $1,450 http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/contro… The 10-22 mm EF-S cannot be used on your camera and the 17-40 mm is a little slow, but it is usable for your needs. $700 And yes, most generic lenses are compromises and can provide disappointing results, especially ten or so yea
