Recommendations for Canon EOS/Canon compatible lenses?
Found one, the 10-22 wide. That's a $700 dent in my budget.
I'm looking for another, either a good zoom or a good walk around lens, perhaps a combination of both, nothing above 500 bucks as my lens budget has depleted quite a bit.
Any ideas on third party lenses? I'm eyeing a couple Sigmas.
Any suggestion will be much appreciated.
BTW, I shoot city scape, macro and portrait. So I'm in a bit of a pickle. Hard to find a good all around lens for 500 bucks or under.
Quite a few to choose from, I've looked at some, wondering about hands on experience.
Thanks a bunch for your suggestion, Fhotoace.
I'm not in a hurry, it's an investment and I don't want to make a rush decision.
Extending a budget is not completely out of a question.
Haven't considered Tokina, will have a good look at the lens.

Another Tokina wide angle lens would be the 11-16mm F2.8. It costs a little less than the Canon lens but is a faster constant aperture lens. All the reviews I have seen on it are very good. Ken Rockwell recommends it over the Nikon equivalent. He does say that the Canon lens is a bit better though. If you do alot of low light wide angle shots it might be worth considering.
As for a walk around lens that is less than $500 check out the Canon 28-135 F3.5-5.6 IS USM. Price is about $400. It is a very sharp lens with a good focal length range. With the 10-22 or 12-24 there is only a small gap in range.

Sigma makes a 10-20mm lens. Sigmas are notorious for being of lesser quality, but they may be getting better. My Sigma 24-70 is a good lens, and it came with a 4 year warranty. The 10-20 is in the $550 range before taxes or shipping.
KEH.com has some used lenses for less than $500. You may have a look there as well. KEH has a reputation for classifying there used gear acurately. If it says its in great shape, it probably is. If its not in great shape, they say so.

No, but you can if you use an adapter. You may lose most of the automatic functions though. Both the D40 and the D60 including all Nikon bodies since the beginning of time is not compatible with Canon lenses. That's what you call propriety. One brand doesn't fit the other.
