      Thanks armedgoat.

      +1 for the lens.
      I have this lens.. excellent investment. loving it for the last 2 years.

      I would like to take the wide landscape type photography and wanted to go wider hence the question.

      Not fisheye territory I guess. you know the ones with alot of distortion. Not a fan of that.

    I would be looking at Canon 10-18 EFS. Personally I tried some sigma but Canon AF performs better and I think worth the premium.

    If digidirect have another 15% off sale the prices are very competitive.

    Or find one second hand.

    I don't think f1.8 sigma is worth the extra if you are just shooting landscapes. Only really needed for low light action.

    Canon EF-S 10-18mm is really good value and light. It's not the widest aperture but for less money and much lighter, very close to the 10-22mm.

    I have the Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM Lens and it's great value. Strongly recommended. 👍
