How to find wide lens for Canon Digital Rebel XT 350d?

I guess first you have to decide whether you want a 'fixed' lens (also known as a prime lens), or a zoom lens.

Zoom lenses are more versatile in the sense that you can change from, say wide angle to normal or telephoto, but they are "slow" (meaning they aren't as good for shooting in low light), and they tend to be less sharp than prime lenses.

For a canon rebel (or for that matter most digital cameras, with some exceptions), you will want something like 18mm if you want to shoot wide angle pictures.

I have a zoom lens (18-50mm) that works fine on my Canon digital eos camera. Until I can afford a prime lens, this is the one I use.

Use the B&H Photo website search function (see link below). On the left side you will be able to choose options to narrow down the list.

If you want wide angle you will want lenses that provide you 18mm or less. You can look at prime lenses with no zoom ability or zoom lenses that go into lower focal lengths (18mm or less)

Hope this helps.
