The 11-24mm f/4L is one of the better ones are far as wide angle and performance.

A cheaper option is the 10-18mm EF-s.

That lens is out of reach for most enthuists let alone beginner hobbyists.  Though without the OP giving any guidance on what they shoot I get the point.

The EFS 10-18 is a good consumer level lens that is close to equal with its big brother the (more expensive) EFS 10-22.

Those three are your only native Canon options.  Otherwise its third party.

I have the Canon 10-18 MM EF-S lens that I use on my Rebel T5 (1200D).  Price was right, especially since I purchased as a Canon Refurb in the States during one of Canon's sales.

Price v. quality -- this lens is hard to beat is you want a decent wide angle zoom lens.

Re: Wide angle lens

Most likely, you already have a great wide angle lens: the 18-55 your camera came with. Lenses wider than 18mm (on APS-C) are ultra-wide-angle. If that's what you mean, then yes, the Canon 10-18mm STM.
