Our upcoming trip to Alaska is quietly sneaking up on us. We’ll be on our way to Anchorage in two and a half weeks. I told myself earlier that I wanted to get a new lens for my camera (Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi) before our trip, and I guess I better make a decision quick. I’m looking for something that is more wide angle than the two lenses that I already have (EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM and EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS).
Currently I’m looking at EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM which would give me a great range of zoom that I am currently missing. I’m just not sure I want to spend that much money. Any other suggestions to consider or is this the best bang for the back considering the small sensor of the camera? I also need to get the sensor cleaned before going, so suggestions for that would be great as well.
