Recently started using a DLSR (Canon EOS T6). Currently have a 18-55mm kit lens and recently purchased a Canon 1.8 nifty fifty plus a Canon EF 55-250 mm. Need advice on a wide angle lens. I have seen recommendations for 16-35, 10-22, 10-20, 8-16, 24 and 35. Happy to buy second hand and non Canon (I am aware of Adorame et al); but would prefer glass as may move to FF if I really get the bug

When I had my Canon gear, I had the 10-22 lens that I bought used from KEH. It was a great lens for shooting landscapes and for time lapses.

After a lot of research I found a Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 to round out my selection of lenses. Also I have Canon 17-85 and Canon 70-300II. Now I'm saving for Canon 100-400mm.

any lens that serves the purpose you have that gives a wider field of view than 16mm!

Possibilities include the EF-S 10-18 (inexpensive), the Sigma 10-20 3.5 ($399 is a good deal) on the longer side I would go with the Sigma 18-35 1.8 Art lens but it is not cheap..

If you want a wide angle lens that can be used on FF as well, then the 11-24 L will work but is very $$$. I would recommend the Canon 10-22 or 10-18. They can be picked up used at a good price can be sold later if you decide to move to FF. I have the 11-24 and the 10-22 and both are very good image quality

Canon 10-18 great lens.

Have to agree...I bought it refurbished from Canon and it's the only non L series Canon lens I own but it competes with Canon's best

The budget full frame candidate is a used copy of the EF 17-40 f/4L. The EF-S option is the EF-S 10-18 f/4.5-5.6 IS STM

EF-S 10-18 4.5-5.6 $269.00

Sigma 10-20 3.5 $399.00

The Sigma is $130 more, but a faster lens at f-3.5 through the whole range. It might be a better choice in the low light interiors you mentioned in the original post. It is probably the best deal in a fast wide zoom for APS-C cameras. I use the Canon 10-18 and do like it, but when I got it, the Sigma was selling for $649.00. If it had been at the current price, I would have gone with the Sigma.

Here's another vote for the EFS 10-22. I have this lens and love it.

And another up-vote for this one. I haven't tried landscapes with it, but it did well for me photographing inside real estate shots.

Given the current pace of change, your move to FF may be a mirrorless. Canon's new R mount with adapter accommodates EF-S lenses.

The EF-S 10-18 is so nice I bought it TWICE! It is sharp, stabilized and has little (and correctable) distortion and Chromatic Aberration. It is light and stealthy. While FF lenses are great ways to get quality and upward compatibility, even the excellent EF 17-40L will only give you a mild "Wide" field of view of on your APS-C sensor. I've used this lens and recommend it highly.

Any zoom for full frame (FF) wider than 16mm is VERY expensive, like the Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM Lens on sale for $2699. The 24 and 35 are within the range of your kit 18-55, so unless you are unhappy with the kit lens, why?.

Based on my experience, you can get much wider lenses for crop factor than (FF), so I don't see the benefit of FF unless you work in very low light or are extremely fussy and pixel peep. I would go with an EF-S (for APS-C bodies) zoom.

The 10-22 on the APS-C gives the same field of view as the 16-35 on FF. I assume that is how they originally decided on the 10-22 range so the same view from both options

When I was in the market for a 1.5 APSC crop sensor ultra wide, Dyxum.com user's reviews gave the Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 high marks. I purchased one and have not been disappointed. Crisp and contrasty with good color rendition but due to a tad bit of chromatic aberration, not perfect. The slight CA is easily removable in post processing. BTW I find that I use this lens mostly at the 16 mm end of it's zoom range.
