Wide angle lens recommendations

Hello all, newly into photography, I want a budget wide angle lens that is good for landscape and astrophotography. I check on Amazon, ef mount lens is way too expensive. I’m looking for under 500$ options. Any suggestions? I’m using 6D it uses ef mount.

If you’re new to photography, then don’t buy gear on Amazon. Most of it is junk or counterfeit. Buy gear from a reputable dealer

For someone who is just starting out with astrophotography I would recommend using a fully manual lens. The Rokinon 14mm is a good starting point.

Greetings,

With the 6D, an EF mount is your only option.  RF mount lenses are specific to mirrorless body's.  

To keep costs down, I'd look at the Canon refurbished store or the used departments of KEH, B&H or Adorama.
