What wide angle lense for Rebel Ti1?

HJNY — Wed, 16 Nov 2016 01:58:43 GMT

Hubby has a Rebel Ti1, 18-55 regular lens and a 55-250 zoom. He wants a wide angle for outdoor, nature photography. Strictly amateur, doen't play around with manual settings much. Any suggestions?

The less expensive 10-18 has a smaller max aperture, so would let in less light than the 10-22 but a lot of wide

angle shots are of non-moving scenes, so for that you can just use a tripod and set a longer exposure.

The 10-18 is newer and it is sharper in the corners of the image and 1/2 the price of the 10-22.

I am not familiar with the 3rd party offerings but I know Sigma has a decent 10-20 or so. Not sure if it is a

lot

brighter or cheaper than these other two.

Both lenses are pretty good. I went for the 10-22 for the wider apeture, wider zoom range, [internal focusing], and the 77mm filter size, which is compatible with most "L" Series lenses. I did not feel I needed Image Stabilization on an ultra-wide angle lens.
