Suggest a lens please.

I have a Canon EOS 40D, a 10D and a few older EOS film bodies, i used to use my 20-35mm lens a lot on 35mm and would like that kind of lens for the digital crop sensor cameras i have, i've never felt the desire to go wider but are there any nice lenses for less than £200 that would go wider than my 20-35 EF lens on my Digi cameras? i can't afford a full frame digi just yet.

Might be worth looking at a s/h Sigma 10-20. I haven't used one but the Canon 10-22 will probably be over budget.

thanks, these wouldn't fit the film cameras though would they?

I don't believe they would, I was thinking you would be keeping the 20-35 for those

yes i will keep that lens for those bodies, the last Sigma i used though was one of the old and clunky cheapy black ones, these sound much better. I'll keep an eye on ebay. Cheers.

I also use a sigma 10-20 and find it great, very sharp and does exactly what i want.

I think that the options to fit both 35mm film (and FF digital) and APS-C are limited and expensive.

The Sigma 12-24mm will fit both, it'll be very wide on your film bodies and will have a field of view of 19-38mm on your APS-C DSLR's. Expensive though.

Sigma 15-30 ex works on my FF so will fit on film bodies. Good write-up and as it works on my 5D3 it should work fine on older bodies.

found a few of those, there's one for £199 buy now on the bay. 24mm equivalent on the 10/40d isn't too bad. Thanks.
