for me, i shoot a lot of pics at 17mm and 55mm of my 17-55 f2.8.. for longer end, i have my 85/f1.8 so not a big prob but sometimes i wish that it can go wider, think i have to purchase the 10-22 soon to quench my UWA thirst..
Yes, I tend to shoot a lot at the wide end of my 17-55 lens. When I bought my first UWA (a Sigma 10-20), it was like a lens from heaven. I really enjoy the wide end. Here is one of my favourite photos taken with the Sigma:

Good good. No rush. Too many a new photographer has rushed into buying new lenses and wasted his time & money when he decides that his photographer interest is not suited for the lens. Take it slow and know what you’ll shoot, then match the lens to your needs

Hi there everyone!! Am a 7D user too... for 3 months now.
So far been using the following lenses:
- Tamron 17-50mm 2.8 non VC
- Canon 50mm 1.8 II
- Canon 50~250mm 4~5.6
They cover the range of 17~250 pretty well so far, and I've been quite happy... (yes i know, they aren't exactly superb lenses to pair up with the 7D but well, the 7D burnt a hole in my pocket!!!)
Am thinking of getting the Tokina 11-16mm 2.8 as a UWA lens... do you guys think it is advisable?
Would love to hear from you!
BTW - any good sites for advice on maximising the potential of our 7Ds to share? Thanks in advance!

You'll really like the UWA lens. The Tokina 11-16 mm is a very good one.
I recently tested the Sigma 8-16 and it is a nice lens too. It has received very good reviews from pros and regular users. If you ask me, there's lot of choice in the UWA segment. None of the brands/models can be a wrong choice... they are all good for various reasons. The advantage of the Tokina is the constant aperture throughout the focal range and for low light photography.
With respect to sites on maximizing the 7D.... ClubSnap is pretty good. There are a lot of knowledgeable photographers on this site who will take the time to answer your questions. Another site that I've learned a lot from is DPReview.
Just upgrade from 550D to 7D. I am still adjusting on the settings and button location. The shutter sounds a bit weird (for me), sounds like typewriter
Just get the Sandisk Ultra will do.7D user here btw
