What wide angle and what to pay?

[mneame]

Looking form something a little wider than the 18 - 35 that came with my 30d. Don't want to pay fortunes as I'm only an occasional snapper but want a reasonable quality. Recently i found that 18mm really isn't wide enough.

Cheers,

Matt.

Any ideas if the more expensive 10-20mm f/3.5 EX DC HSM is worth the extra money?

try a converter lens if its only the odd shot, around £50, they screw into the end of prime lens

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

From what I've read it's soft wide open...
