Over the next few months I may be able to save up for a UWA (for use on a Canon 7D mk1) for an upcoming landscape photography trip.
Despite reading multiple threads, internet searches and scoring systems I'm a bit unsure as to what to aim for. I think at the moment I'm heading towards the Canon EF-S 10-22mm f3.5-4.5, second the Tokina 11-16mm. But ideally I'd have a tack sharp lens with low distortion, low flare, low CA and all that jazz (in that order too). Not bothered about fast as it's for landscapes so will be used on a tripod most of the time (though IS would be nice it's not essential) with 100mm filters. I'd prefer it to be a real quality bit of glass though. Looking at EF-S fit to get wider than my 17-70mm Siggy. Budget would be sub ideally be £400-600 but I may be able to pish sub £1000 for the right lens with the emphasis on sharpness. Any ideas what couple of lenses I should be considering?
PS I'm not adverse to prime lenses or MF only either but I don't care for fisheyes.
