Need a wide angle lens for my T2i - any suggestions?

[NayLoMo6C]

I have a budget of around $500, and I am looking to get either a wide or super wide angle lens, somewhere around the ranges of 10 to 24 mm. I have looked around at brands such as Canon, sigma, tokina, and tamron and have found several good candidates, but I want to solidify my decision by asking you guys.

Tokina 11-16 f2.8. Outstanding ultra wide, but only fits on crop body cameras.

he has a crop body so its okay. I dont have one personally, but i have seen some shots taken with it and one of the members has a few ample shots in recent posting on the forum. It looks to produce some awesome images.

Canon EF-S 10-22mm
Sigma 10-20mm
Tokina 11-16mm

I have heard its amazingly good for the price and compared to Canon/nikons same range for the price. Good luck.

I didnt go for the tokina as 11-16 isnt much of a range... I went with the canon 10-22

yeah that's true, but the constant f/2.8 really hits the spot.
