Looking for a Canon wide angle lens.
Hi all
On my 5D I use the common and excellent 24-105 zoom, but lately I've been finding it's less than useful in really wide angle shots. One of the major complaints is the lack of depth of field even with the lens closed right down. Can anyone recommend from their experience a good wide angle, even a zoom, starting at about 10mm? __________________

10 mm on a full frame sensor is a bit of a stretch. I've been pleased using the 17-40 f/4 L on a full frame camera.

Re: Looking for a Canon wide angle lens.
I've used my 16-35 f/2.8 L USM Mark I on my A2E. I don't have my FF, yet, so I haven't tried it in digital. But that's about the widest you can go lenticular. I think the Fisheye would be the widest...

 for the 16-35 f2.8. I have the Mark II version and love everything about it, except the price. The only thing for a FF body that would be wider in a zoom that I am aware of would be the Sigma 12=24.__________________
