Canon Rebel T2 Wide-angle lens

[WDWScottieBoy]

Alright, I know someone in here can help me...possibly Dave.

I bought a Canon Rebel T2 film camera with two Sigma lens in November for my December trip to WDW and it's coming time for another trip (less than a month away). What I want for this trip is a nice wide-angle lens to get some good shots of WDW. I don't want to have to spend more than $150 or so though, I've seen some that cost over $1000.

Any suggestions on what to get or where to look for the right one? I don't mind the brand but would prefer another Sigma or a Canon lens.

Thanks for all the help in advance! :wave:

Are you are going for a fixed lenth 28mm, 35mm, 50mm or something like a 28-70mm zoom?

My brother just bought a lense that is a bit more than what you are looking to spend at $245 (for a Digital Rebel) but it is 28-200mm which means you can do most of your shooting with it. Only thing is that it is a bit slow so night time pictures will be hard to do.

I always like to use a 50mm because the field of view as nearly equal to what the human eyes can see when looking straight ahead. The only time I was I had a 28mm was while doing some indoor shooting but getting a fast 28mm cost a bit more also.

28-200 is always a good choice, good walkaroud lens.

I'm going to be using it mainly for WDW and nothing else. I don't even know where to start. I just want something to get a couple nice shots of outside, interior (queues, FotLK, etc). What would you suggest. I MIGHT go up to $200, but wouldn't really want to.

Any links or places you suggest getting a lens?

Here you go a Sigma 28-200mm F 3.5-5.6 - $174.89 to 219.99

What other lenses do you have?

I have the Sigma 28-80mm and the 100-300mm lens'.

My mom says she has a wide-angle from her old school SLR camera, so I'm going to go see if it will work on mine!

Looking at the lenses you already have I might want to go with a FAST fix length lense.

My brother came by today with is camera, you got a 28-300mm (nearly equals 10x zoom on a Digital) Tamron for a good price of $239.00. Although it is a bit more than you wanted to spend it is a very nice lense and the few pictures I took today look great.
