<p>So If Im hearing right, fisheyes, as I had previously thought, are kinda a rarely used lens with small practical uses for such an expense... Therefore, it seems that the list comes down to </p>

<p>Any more thoughts? I think I got the handle of the lens's thing, but like what would be the advantage of using a prime lens cause to me it seems like a big negative cause you cant zoom? </p>

<p>I have done a little of that already and have spotted the possiblity to add more of a wide angle touch to the collection. I picked up on that quick. And when I questioned wide angle lenses, I just thought of the possivbilty of other lenses out there that I might really like. </p>

<p>But the bigger matter at hand I suppose is wide angles lenses. Can you shed any more light on that?(no pun intended :P ) </p>

<h1 >I have had the Canon 7D for a little over a year now and I love it so much. However, I just have two lenses for it, and I'm thinking of adding more.</h1>

I have:<br />Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM<br />and <br />Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM<br /><br />The 2nd lens is a zoom lens obviously, and the first one came with the camera. I'm not sure what you would qualify it as, but I just consider it a standard lens.<br /><br />One of the len's I think i am lacking is a good a wide angle lens. (?) What should I get that is a really good but not insanely expensive wide angle lens? Also, whats the difference between one wide angle lens and the next, i.e., a fisheye vs. a wide angle vs. ultra wide angle?<br /><br />In addition to the wide angle, is there another lens that is a 'must have' or you think every photographer with the 7D should have.

Now on to accessories.

I'm not sure if there is a need for an external flash for my 7D, but do you see a need for one, or any other type of accessory?

I realize this all depends on WHAT im going to shoot, but I shoot a lot of things, so I just want to be prepared.

Thanks SO MUCH
