Hi All
This is my first post to the forum so here goes,
I currently shoot with a Canon 450D and i am looking to purchase a wide angle zoom to use when taking landscape photographs along with the odd interior picture fir a friends holiday let website.
Any help suggestions would be gratefully accepted.

Hi there sjh and welcome to the Q&A Forum,

There are several options to choose from, limited only by your pocketbook.

I suggest you take a look at the Lens Rental site listed below. I've found it very helpful in learning about available lenses. I actually rented a lens from them and plan to rent more; some of the lenses I'm interested in aren't available locally. Beside, lenses can be very expensive and I prefer to rent first to see if I really like it. It's less costly than buying a lens and possibly having to pay a restocking fee it I don't.

As you probably know, the XSi has a focal lens multiplier of 1.6, so keep that in mind when deciding which lens will best meet your need.
