Wide angle lens for Canon 50D

[markonestudios]

I have had a chance to use the same body/lens combination (50D/10-22) and I was indeed greatly impressed. I doubt you'll struggle to resell the lens later on. I would advise though that you try and get a new one if at all you can stretch your budget that far. It is likely to fetch a better price down the line than trying to sell a lens as a second owner.

<p>I also own the 17-40L which I occasionally use on my film SLR. Its performance is simply superb. It got me addicted to super-wide ;-) However, when I do use it on my crop sensor 400D, sometimes I find it doesn't quite go as wide as I'd like. I will be getting the 5D2 soon though, so I won't have to worry about that any more.

<p>Thanks all. I would probably buy a new lens rather than secondhand. Warranty would be a handy thing to have on such an expensive lens.<br>

@ Brian - that is an incredible picture</p>
