Price! The EFS 60mm is a wonderful lens, we used it for years. If you buy the new EF 100mm IS macro from Canon, that's an absolute corker, 5-plane internal stabilization, very useful for hand-held macros, but it's quite expensive. I used that one with my 5D2 and loved it. Regarding a "good, not break the bank" WA for the cropped-sensor Canons, I'm not sure what's the status of your bank. The 10-22mm EFS from Canon led the field for years and years and can be had at a reasonable price (by my standards anyway). The newer, enthusiast-oriented Canon 10-18mm EFS is about half that price, new, and gets excellent reviews, though I have never used one. It's small, it's liggt, it's WIDE, but it's max aperture's isn't very impressive.
There are, of course, a host of third-party ultrawides out there, but as I have no experience with those I'll leave it to others to help you out there. |
