Anybody know which is the best Wide Angle lens for a Canon 350D. Either made by canon, sigma etc...
Got a project coming up that will involve taking lots of pictures of showhouses for a new development of apartments and houses, so need to get as much as the room in the pic as possible.

Traut, those are not really wide-angle on a 350D, are they? 24mm becomes 36mm and 35mm becomes 48mm.
mirrorball, a popular lense is the 18-75 (24 - 110) by Canon. If you want real wideangle, there's the Canon 10-22mm (15-33mm, this is not the best quality lense, but has a nice price/quality ratio)

I shoot the 10mm - 22 Sigma which has excellent clarity and sharpness and is not too bad price wise. You can only put one filter on at a time though, as it's so wide it'll get the edges of a second filter in the photo if you use two.
- Have you a link to a site where I can buy one?mirrorball
- Sorry my typo. It's a 10-20mm.TedUmptious

I got it in Hong Kong when I was over there. But I'm sure places like B and H Photo in New york will ship to you. Plus the excellent exchange rate will save you a bit.

Here's a review of the Sigma.

One other note on the Sigma 10-20 lens is that there are good ones and bad ones. Somehow in the manufacturing process bad copies went out. That explains some peoples frustrations with the lens. Sigma do replace the bad ones as far as I know. I tested mine so making sure i got a good one. But it is a little risk you take when ordering this lens.
