Hi,

Any suggestions as to what would be a good wide angle lense for use with a Canon 300D in some glamour photography and landscape shooting?

All those lenses work fine, so go to fredmiranda.com to read user reviews.

But first, take a cheapo 18-55, any version, and shoot at nothing but 18mm for a few days. Examine the images with an eye toward any distortion you get. Any of the wide angle lenses suggested will have more distortion, at least at their widest. If it's acceptible for you, then go ahead and buy the lens of your choice.

I second the Tokina 11-16mm 2.8, you can have a good deal on Amazon. Got mine a month ago, secondhand, it's a jewel. Perfect for churches too, as I am into architecture more than landscape.

I shoot with the Canon 10-22EFS lens, and I really like the flexibility of getting very wide for landscapes, while being able to to to 22mm, which on a traditional 35mm would have been around 35mm. The Tamron 10-24 would give you that flexibility and I think it would be a good choice. Because these lenses are so wide you really won't miss the extra stop, because at that width there is less precision to start with, unlike a telephoto where the slightest movement leaves the photo out of focus.

You can go for Zeiss 25mm f/2 Distagon. It is one of the best lenses today which helps in getting more sharpness.

Sorry, as if you didn't have enough to choose from, I'm going to throw my suggestion into the mix - I have a Sigma EX 10-20mm for my canon and it's excellent...!

If you want to go really W-I-D-E there's the EFS 10-22mm which you could use with your body.
