OK, if someone is going to ask a stupid question, of course it would be me but I shall ask anyway.
I have done the lens purchase thing from America. Have brought home with me the following canon gear: 70-200 IS USM, 60mm Macro, battery grip and 430ex flash.
I have one to get back which is the 10-22 wide angle lens. I am thinking of returning this as I am feeling guilty about the money spent and wondering if I will in fact use this lens. Time is running short and I urgently and desperately need help to decide what to do.
I have never worked with a wide angle before and wish to know how many of you use them either a lot or just some times. What you tend to use them for when you do (eg. just landscapes or other). Dont care which one you have just wide angles in general.
As usual, thanks to all you guys for your help. |

| I use mine a lot. mostly landscapes, but sometime for architecture interior/exterior, and even for portraiture once in a while, gives a new perspective to close-up portraiture |

You might have to stick with just the 12mm so you have at least a couple of millimetres of working space. ;o)
This was taken with the 17-40 and the 25mm extension tube.
17-40 with 12 and 25 together
