10mm/wide angle for canon ?

[Robbo]

can anyone recommend a cheap ish lens to fit a 450? It wont get used much but I want to take a few shots of various things so I dont want to get a top end lens etc....

any recommendations?

thanks

It depends on what you mean by cheap!

If you're looking for a wide angle I can thoroughly recommend the sigma 10-20, linky:

By all accounts it's pretty comparable to the Canon equivalent - I've been more than pleased with mine.

You are still looking at £300 / 400 minimum for that type of lens even from tokina, sigma or tamron unless you look at the 2nd hand market

do you have any idea how much second hand ones range from?

Have a look at Mifsuds, Ffordes, Park Cameras, Camtech, MBP for 2nd hand prices, they'll give you some idea on price, and of course keep an eye on the TP forums

around £280 (new is £355.99) for the sigma 10-20 or £380 (new £559.99) for the canon 10-22mm
