    I bought one of these on ebay last summer for $575, and like it a lot. Have you checked there? Things tend to get bid up there, and it takes some patience to get a good price.

    Good Luck!

    Thats a tough call on Ebay like that. I don't want to gamble with $600ish dollars. I just wish we had a good seller here on Dgrin, it would be so much easier.

    No rush though, I can wait a little. Lmk if you find more!

    Do make sure you see plenty shots from the one you buy. I bought my first one new here in 0z & i was very disappointed with its soft edges. So i sold it showing the new buyer samples which he didnt seem concerned with (surf photog)

    I missed wide just too much so i bought another from a member on d/grin & its amazing the difference..very sharp copy.

    Thanks gus, I'll be sure to be on a look out.

    Yeah I could really use the super-wide specially on architecture shoots, my little ol' Tokina 19-35 is nice and sharp (being that I only use the center of the lens), but its clearly not as wide as a 10-12mm.

    Was thinking of going full-frame with a 5D but I'm afraid to sell one of the kidneys for I may need them for other endeavors.

    So if anyone has a good copy of a 10-22mm Canon, y'all let me know pls!

    Thought about Sigma?
    I have this one and am pretty happy with it:

    And its at your price point of $500. Even less if you go to Grey market.......
    It is the purpose of life that each of us strives to become actually what he is potentially. We should be obsessed with stretching towards that goal through the world we inhabit.
