Canon Lenses for under £250

[Bobster]

those are hardly wide on a 1.6crop

Well, two are ....... marginally.

But about the one real disadvantage (to me, anyway) of the 1.6 crops is that if you want what I'd regard as a true wide-angle, it ain't cheap. Even the mass-market zooms, of the 10-20-ish range aren't cheap, and primes? Ouch. A true wide, say the 14mm 2.8, at £1300-£1600, (Mk.I or II) might be an impressive lens but at an impressive price.

I've had good results from the Tamron 11-18mm, but it's £330-ish and (obviously) not a prime. There's the Tamron 17-35mm f2.8 - 4 at about £250, but it's modestly wide and I know nothing about it personally.


Or, perhaps, there's the second-hand market.???

i think a 20mm 1.8 is the closest to 250 - its around the 300 mark

Screw it, ordered the Tamron 17-50mm....can't wait!
