Aftermarket lenses with 20d

[webwizard]

Anybody have any suggestions for wide angle aftermarket lenses for use with 20d? Don't fee like spending $800 for the Canon EF-S 10-22MM

first of all, you won't touch the equivalent focal length for less money. sigma has a 12-24 that's good - nearly as much money.

tamron has an 11-18mm for under $600

you can find more info on b&h's website

I have heard from a couple peopkle who contacted sigma directly that the 10-20 should be shipping out by the end of this month. :thumb

I am anxiously awaiting reviews.

the canon ef-s 60mm macro looks just right to me-with 1.6 crop factor it is close to 100mm in the old money and gives you 1:1 macro,and is roughly the size of a film based 50 mm prime
