WELL!
I went shopping 2 day only did half a days work! Every shop I went into didn't have any more Canon EF-s 10-22 lenses in stock they all said they had no idea when they would get more most likely 4 weeks or so or could be next week. They all said its due to the disaster in Japan and so their is a back log of orders so not many lenses make it to the UK. One store was shocked I managed to get hold of a Canon 650D as they are rare at the moment hard to get hold of apparently! A customer said lucky u! Then asked how does it perform I said sound lol! Dead professional!
One shop also sold the Sigma but unlucky (lucky? maybe) for me a custumer who just walked past me as I entered the shop had bought the last sigma!
Sooo I found a shop which also didnt have a Canon EF-s but sold Tamrons they only had one left of them also! I checked it out tried it on my camera seems to take picture fine! I thought the pictures are good enough for me! Lucky me! The lad working in the shop I knew from Collage doing my apprentice! He said he would give me staff this count! So I ended up getting the Tamron
If a shop had the Canon lens in store I would of bought it but at least I have saved my self about £400.
Here are two pictures again using the Standard lens which comes with the Camera and the Tamron

Just for fun I downloaded the image and corrected it for lens distortion and removed the key stoning, and the golden cast...not sure it's better. But the wide angle does give you plenty of room to play with the image.
It's a nice room.

The distortion correction looks good! removing the gold i agree not sure it's better if you gone in between the two that might of been alrite. It's the computer room never gets used unless some one uses the I-mac.
How did you correct the distortion did you bring in the two top corners and then squared it up again?
Cheers jmb

Reiska,
I spoke to couple dealers about incompatibility issues using sigma or tamron lenses you mentioned.
They said they have been in the trade many years and never heard of this problem with legitimate lenses they have sold. They have heard it has happend to people who have bought of the Internet and ended up with copies-fakes imported thinking they where buying the real thing.

I bought my old film EOS camera & lenses from the London Camera Exchange shop way before there were any online shops in existance some time in the early nineties (1994 might be close to thruth) [big grin]
But I'm glad you found a lens that works for you and looks easily correctable.

There are two ways, I used (PS 5) the keystone tool in the lens filter/correction tool box, usually I use the transform tool.
Here is a link Scott Hargis video that explains how to do this if you have light room 2 or 3 and/or PS 4 or 5.
