All right, so I've finally got enough money to buy a wide angle! Unfortunately my Sigma 17-70 mm had to go to get enough money, but I hardly use it anyway soo P:.
Well, ok, so I was thinking of buying some stuff on BHphotovideo, and I have looked at the Sigma 10-20 mm and the Tokina 12-24 (both for 499$) and I'm standing between a difficult choice. You see, I know I will be getting a new camera sooner or later, and I'm certain it will be a full frame sensor (CMOS) DSLR. Therefore Sigmas 10-20 won't work for full frame format but Tokina will.
But I'm facing another problem: I want the lens to be as wide as possible, but if I buy the Tokina lens the range will be set from 12-24 (full frame) to 19.2-38.4mm (APS-C).
That's a problem. So I have another option: I can buy the Sigma 10-20 and sell it later, but also here I can be facing more difficulties. When that time comes for me to buy a new camera, I bet that most cameras have the full frame sensor format, which means less money for the lens and less money to buy a new one.
gah.
So what do you think? o.O
Is 19.2 mm wide enough for landscapes? I've been using my dads Canon 17-40 mm for a while now which works great, but even when I'm using this I wish I'd had something even wider..
Also I'm buying a Kenko teleconverter 1,5 and a ND filter (9 stops). Looking forward to try them both out.

price already dropped and you get full frame.. even 17mm will be good enough.

Personally I plan on getting a Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 when BH reopens.
