Just looking for some opinions on this lens before I jump on it Tamron SP AF 10-24mm Recently attended a beginning photography class and this is one of the lenses they mentioned as a must h6ave for starting out on a budget with a crop factor sensor. Although I'm not just starting out, had the camera for 3 years nearly, the class tied a bunch of stuff together that I learned around the Net and filled in the blanks as it were.
While they're not the best I do already have lenses covering me up to 300mm (not considering the crop effect) on the zoom end but I really feel the need for a wider angle for landscape shots which I'm really getting into. The stock 18-55mm is not cutting it for that anymore. The $800 Canon 10-22mm is out of my price range right now. What do you guys think?
edit: I have NO idea what is causing these extra characters. They don't show up in the edit screen and I've deleted and re-typed multiple times.
