Recommendation for wide angle lens

[sharnyo]

Hi,

Ever since I got my 7D, I 'lost' all my wide angle lense capability with the 1.5x factor. Need to get new wider angle lens. Can anyone recommend good ones preferably zoom wide angle rather than fixed ?

Thanks.

Hi there,

Is KM really gonna produce 11-18mm???? any idea what's the f-stop will be?

definitely nothing like f2.8... should be something like the canon 11-22 kind...

Looked at KM planned launch of the wideangle, but it won't be out till Fall

So far, I saw there're Sigma 12-24, Tamron 11-18 that are available now.

And there're also 17-35 range by all Sigma, Tamron and KM but I think better to go all the way with the new Sigma/Tamron 18-200m - assuming no loss in quality for the extended range.

What do you guys think ?

I have got the Sigma 12-24mm. the distoration is not so great even on normal film camera.... worth buying.....

I also think of Sigma 12-24mm. It seems a good range for me. Plus, I still prefer not to get all-digital-only lens. I am sure the future DSLR will eventually be full-size. Plus I see little benefit from having the all-digital-only lens - quality wise. Anyone want to share their comparisons ??

i email to tokina when they put up the news about their 12-24 f4. they replied they have no intention of making minolta mount at the moment.
