Okay, firstly i want to say that i am new here and hello to all.
I just recently purchased the new Canon T2i (550D) and am looking at getting a better wide-angle lens for it, but have read sooo many terrible reviews on lenses that i figured i'd find a forum to post on and ask people that have a better take on the quality and brand knowledge of different lenses. So, just for foreshadow i am looking for good quality glass/build/aperture for a decent price (redundant, i know haha), about 17mm for wide-angle and not a lot of zoom (since it will mostly be used for wide-angle use).
these are a few lenses i have been looking at:
Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
Tamron SP AF 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II LD Aspherical
Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM
Sigma AF 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC Macro
...i've heard good things about Tamron and Sigma lenses, i'm just not sure if these particular lenses are any good as far as build and glass quality. Any feedback will be much appreciated. Thank you. =)
