But need some help.

This is what i am needing it for.

1) Want to get some good pro shots. Thinking of maybe a fish eye since I haven't shot with one yet.

Thinking this one
Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye
http://www.borrowlenses.com/images/wide/canon-15mm-fisheye_medium.jpg

Unless you can recommend one.

2)Need one for good distance and good speed. Since I will be on the track shooting. Thinking the same one I rented before

This one
Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS USM
http://www.borrowlenses.com/images/telephoto/canon-70-200mm-f2.8_is_medium.jpg


I will also be shooting a week before at a high priced car event and the IRL. So these lenses will be with me for 3+ weeks.

Thanks
Chris

shooting with a fish doesnt always make it seem "pro"

i shoot a lot of cars with my 10-20, at 10mm and its still difficult but i think i've got the technique down to make it not look stupid.

the 70-200 2.8 will be fine for the car shots while racing...but for the cars being parked and you want wide try and get the canon 12-24 or 12-22 (i cant remember which one it is, im a nikon guy!) but that lens is awesome and gives you a little more versatility

Yea I want to find a nice wide angle. I might just get that 45$ adaptor lens.

Got boost??

where are you located again? just go to most any Ritz or something and they might sometimes have a good range of wide lenses in stock. They've let me play with lenses all the time. And again, if you have the option to rent a wide lens, try and get the canon 12-24, its a great lens! I love my sigma 10-20, at 10mm its pretty close to a fisheye but with a lot less distortion and fisheye feel, but it still damn wide

Ill prob do that one instead of the fish eye.
