Wide Angle Lens for Canon Rebel T3i
Mar 29, 2013 17:57:22 #
Can anyone recommend a wide angle lens for the Canon EOS T3i I just purchased. I have a zoom but not a wide angle. I know there are many price ranges but maybe you could tell me what lens will give me the most bang for my buck. Thanks in advance.

Hi Teddy,
I think the answer to that is the Sigma 10-20mm F/4-5.6 EX DC HSM.

I have the same camera
don't expect a great wide angle veiw from the T3i becouse its a croped sensor to begin with.
some examples to show you why your feild of veiw is going to be limited
You can also search the web like I did for
"wide angle lens for canon t3i" I found a site that has most all lens for our camera

Hi beercan31,
a 10mm lens on the T3i (of which there are quite a few genuine contenders) is the same field of view as 16mm on a full frame camera.
That is a very significant wide angle view and much more impressive than the 18mm full frame in your example. When you get to the wide end 2mm is a significant amount.

The EF-S 10-22mm is an EXCELLENT lens. I have one that I used on my Canon 50D. When I traded in the body for an EOS 7D, I kept the lens. If it wasn't built for the crop factor, it would have been billed as an EF-L. It's that good!

To everyone recommending the Canon 10-22mm - the OP requested a recommendation on "best bang for buck".
Given that the verdict is very much out on whether it is actually even any better than competition lenses that cost half as much, I definitely don't think it classifies as "best bang for buck".

Take a look at the Tamron 10-24 very good lens and not to expensive. Less than the Canon.

OP is looking for bang for the buck. Canon has the Bang - but also is on the high end regarding the bucks.
The Tammy lens at 10-24 might be a reasonable choice.

I have the Tokina 12-24 - the older version - on my crop Canon 7D (so will work the same on your T3i) and really like it.
It is a constant f/4 and is solidly built. The new version also gets good marks for value.
