Best Wide Angle Lens

[IceBeat]

Well today I'm going to be getting my Canon 60D along with a Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens, and I was thinking of getting a wide angel lens too.
What I realized is that I'm also going to need a wide-angle lens, and one that does well in low light since I'm going to shoot low-light indoors as well as night landscapes. Money Isn't really an issue as long as the lens is worth what I'm paying for. (I'm a canon shooter btw, if that wasn't clear yet)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Your Canon 17-55mm lens is a already wide-angle lens that does well in low light. (i.e. 17mm~)

Are you looking for Ultra-wide angle? Maybe EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 or the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8

Take a look at this comparison

By the way, night landscapes type shots may not need a fast lens, you need a tripod instead.

Yes I actually meant an Ultra-wide angle lens.
Looking at the compared lenses, to me it seems that either the Tokina 11-16mm, or the Canon 10-22mm.

Well, I always thought you need a higher aperture for low light situation inorder to let more light in?

The smaller the f/number, the more light it allows through and results in better low-light performance.

The Tokina 11-16 is the best on the market optically and in terms of distortion.
