I am looking to get a wide angle lens attachment for my Canon Rebel XT. There are a bunch on ebay for what I think is really cheap...but which one is the best?

I mostly take pictures of mountain biking and jumping, lots of action shots...but also flowers and people...

Those things don't really give you a quality picture. Buyer beware. They may be fun to play with but nothing close to buying a wide lens for the job.

Greg is right. I wouldn't waste my time or money on one of those. Save up some money and get a true wide angle lens and you will be happy you did.

yeah I had a feeling you guys would say that. It seemed to good to be true...how much can I get a decent wide angle for?

Good question. I paid $500 for my Tokina 12-24mm f/4 lens and I love it. Sigma also makes a wide angle in the same price range. The Sigma is a little wider 10-20mm, with a variable aperture. Canon also makes an ultrawide zoom lens, but it's a couple hundred bucks more. You may be able to find some cheaper wide angles out there too, but remember, you get what you pay for.

You might be interested in checking out this thread. It includes images from different wide angle lenses. At least you will get an idea of the kind of results you can get, plus more information.
