about to get my first DSLR and am going to get my first lens. i've used my fathers DSLR quite a bit and will be able to borrow his canon 50mm 1.8 all i want.
I wanted to have a good wide angle like the sigma (10-20mmf/4) for landscape or city shots, but i am a little concerned how it will behave as a walk around lens. Ive heard its pretty good but im wondering if photos of people will tend to look distorted even at 20mm.
I was also considering the Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 though because it is relatively fast and although not as wide as the sigma it has a decent range. It gets pretty good reviews and could also eliminate the need to borrow the 50mm but would it be much less sharp?
just wondering what you would do in this situation? or maybe is there another you would rather recommend? (same 400-500 price range)
