What wide angle lens should I buy for my 350D
What lens would be best for landscapes, especially ocean and mountsins, for my Digital Rebel XT Canon 350?

Welcome to BP. Tamron makes a 17-50mm f/2.8, At a very reasonable price for the quality. Here is a link to another discussion with more info. http://www.betterphoto.com/forms/QnAdetail.php?threadID=26965 I hope this helps

I prefer CAnon EF-s 10-22
I have also CAnon EF 16-35, so great lens.
I heard alot love Canon 17-40
I got Sigma 12-24 as well, it is good but better on Full Frame cameras but not so supreme quality as Canon "L" lenses.
Sigma got 10-20 as well, got positive reviews.
I heard that Tokina have also 12-24, nice good quality as well.
So you have all these lenses you can choose anyone depends on your budget and another factors so.

Wide angle for landscapes? I don't think so: because whichever wide angle lens you choose, you will also get the associated wide angle perspective distortion: a tree 30 yards away will look as if it's 300 yards away... One way to avoid this is photo stitching: you DON'T need a wide angle lens (in fact it's unuseable for stitching), and you get HUUUGE super high-res files with stunning detail that no wide angle lens can ever match! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photo_stitching Photo stitching software for Windows: http://www.versiontracker.com/php/search.php?mode=basic&action=search&str=panorama&srchArea=windows&x=0&y=0 Photo stitching software for Mac: http://www.versiontracker.com/php/search.php?mode=basic&action=search&str=panorama&srchArea=mac%7Cosx&x=0&y=0
