If you always use a tripod you may as well save the money and get the 17-40. Dustin, either lens will be wide enough since the 5D is a full frame. 16mm on the 5D is equal to 10mm on a crop body.

I just can't always have the camera level and get the shot I want. I was thinking about getting the EF 17mm T/S. Does anyone have any experience with it? I'm currently using a 7D but will probably get a 5D mk III when it becomes available.

I am currently using a Nikon D80 with 12-24mm. I am thinking about switching to a Canon 5D Mkii and I was wondering if the 16-35mm or the 17-40mm would be wide enough.

I want to shoot some photos of our yacht, very small space, to publish on a charter site. I also want to take some shots of our real estate to advertise. Any suggestions on which wide angle lens I should buy? I really don't want to spend a ton on Canon brand name, so any suggestions would help.

In the past I've shot a lot of landscapes and abstract work and love this Tokina lens. I get very little distortion from it wide open, but I do get some small shadows in the corners. In any regard, I shot my first home last night and found that the 12-24 wasn't wide enough for bathrooms, the entry way and the laundry room. I was thinking I'd need to go into something wider, but I'm very cautious of distortion and really don't want to. I guess I'll make due with the Tokina 12-24 for now. Thanks for the article.

I was voted "Most Creative" in my graduating class in HS, and have a good artistic eye. I take great "regular" pics with my (don't laugh) Kodak M1033, but can no longer compete with these exaggerated photos my peers are using. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Right? What would you recommend as the most affordable and basic solution to my situation? I am a do-it-your-selfer, so hiring it out is not an option. The market isn't so great, so keeping it affordable is a must. Thanks! Rod Larry, I have been selling real estate for 16 years.

I promised myself when I bought Nikon I would only use their lenses. After all I bought the camera body for the glass... Someone told me that the Tokina was glass and metal and had great optics comparable to the Nikon 12-24 mm f/2.8 at over twice the price. I have found it, Tokina, works great for interiors. I use it with a D-90 and I also have a D300. I love the Tokina 11-16 mm f/2.8 lens for Nikon. I promised myself when I bought Nikon I would only use their lenses.
