    The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being.

    I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure.

I have been shooting more landscapes lately and I find that I am in need of a new wide angle lens.

Ever since I sold my 600D and got a 6D I have been wanting a new wide angle lens. The EF 28mm f1.8 which a used as a 50mm eq. with my 600D just isn't very sharp on a full frame. I borrowed the 24-105mm f/4 for a while and thought the performance on the wide end was ok when stopped down a bit. However, I rarely need the zoom and I would prefer something more compact. What are your opinions on the following lenses:

EF 24mm f2.8
EF 28mm f2.8
EF 17-40mm f4
Sigma/Tamron other wide angle options?

First and foremost I would like a wide angle lens that gives sharp and crisp images. I can spend up to 500USD, but affordability is a plus.

Looking forward to hearing your opinions!
