Value-Money wide angle

[bort]

I've never even heard of the brand - but, by coincidence, I just had an email from bhphoto about a new affordable wide angle.

No idea about its performance, just throwing it out there :-)

Marketed in a lot of the world as a Samyang, going by the reviews it is a very capable lens.
Not that it would be a handicap for landscapes, it is a manual focus lens.

Manual only - interesting

Had a quick look at the review link - a major disadvantage would be the fact that it cant take a filter because of the bulb shape of the front element.

I think most people will vote the sigma 10-20mm, but I'm no expert on Canon gear so can't answer whether it AFs or not on a 20D body

No problem there, I've used it on my 20d
