Okej, thanks for the information.

I was looking for a wide angel lens, and he said me i did not needed to buy a EF lens then on my croped camera, he said i needed to buy a EF-s, or some tamron he adviced me, because there the minimum focal length was giving the same wide feeling on a croped sensor then a EF on a full frame.

But, after reading all these posts, i think i found out, that when you wanna go realy wide, only a full frame sensor can do the job and whatever lens i use, the crop sensor will only capture center parts of the image.

You are wrong there too. There are lenses specifically designed for APS-C that go really wide too.

There is the Canon EF-S 10-22mm f3.5-4.5 USM, which goes to an equivalent of 16mm on FF... 16mm on FF is really wide!

Then there is the Sigma 8-16mm lens... It goes even wider: 8 x 1.6 = 12.8mm FF equivalent. That is super ultra wide!

If you want to go even wider, then uncorrected "fisheye" lenses are the way to go. Tokina has a 10-17mm zoom, Sigma and Samyang have special APS-C fish eye primes.

thanks for the help

greetings
