    Tamron AF 19-35mm Wide Lens.

    I've found a pretty good deal of it on Amazon for under 150, and I was looking for a lens between 15 and 20mm, any input or something similar?

    It depends on what you're looking for. Depending on your camera, if you have a DSLR with the 1.6 crop factor, the zoom would be 49 x 56.

    I had this lens when I used the Rebel 2K and it was a pretty decent lens for the price. KEH has this lens used - LN (like-new) for $92 and LN- for $82. KEH stand behind their products, new and used. Used has a 14 day return policy and 90 day warranty. They have been around for years and are very reputable.

    Does anyone know where I can find sample shots with this lens or any of the other 19-35mm lenses?

    Wow. I need something incredibly wider than that. I might as well just go with a fisheye. I wish one of these companies made an affordable one, I haven't found an alternative to the Canon one.

    check out the 8mm sigma. You'll have to crop the edges if you're shooting full-frame, but it's still worth checking out. otherwise, a 15mm fisheye is your best bet, which sigma also offers for about 300. also keep in mind those shots were with a 10d, which has a 1.6 crop factor. if shooting FF or film, you'll be getting a LOT more wide angle out of it. Just something to consider.

    and also the peleng 8mm, which you can find on ebay. again, you'll have to crop.

    10-20mm sigma zoom as well. lots of lenses to think about here.
