Hello guys

I am planning to buy a wide angle lens for my 650D to mainly use it for the video / movie making and during the research I came across a UK based website review in which 8 wide angle lenses were compared for different brands of DSLRs and for the Canon APS-C like 650D it suggested Sigma 8-16MM f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM though before making the purchase I really want have some good in put from the forum members to make the best decision.

Objective: I need the Wide Angle Lens for making movies while having the look and the feel of a Full Frame DSLR like Canon D5 Mark III - so in very simple words I cant afford the D5 Mark III so want a low price but affective solution

Please help me guys.

Thanks.

How 'wide' is WIDE? The Sigma 8-16mm is the widest Ultra Wide Angle lens available, except for some manual focus fish-eyes. You may also want to consider the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 because it has a wide, constant f/2.8 aperture. While you're at it, look at reviews of the Canon EF-S 10-22 f/3.5- f/4.5 USM which has the best flare resistance of all UWAs.

Lots to consider.
