The Canon 10-22mm is the widest EF-S lens you can get, and it's only $799 on Amazon, it is a rectilinear lens, and will not have the fish eye effect.
If you don't want to fork out for that lens, then buy yourself a nice tripod, and "stitch" a whole bunch of photos together in photoshop to produce one, big, wide angle image.
It's a lot easier to just use the wide angle lens though, but it depends on what you're doing. If you're by yourself, it is ok to take the time to take lots of photos... if you're with family, you probably don't want to be holding them up and experimenting a lot every time you want to take a scenic photograph...
I have an 80D, same sort of deal. The current 24mm pancake lens from Canon does decently wide angles and has decent specs for the price (f2.8). It's like just over $100, like the nifty fifty. It's also great because of the low profile. A drawback for video is lack of image stabilization but I find it manageable at such wide angles.
Why do you want full frame? Just for the wider angles? I was considering this too not too long ago, and honestly, it's a whole boatload more money for something that composition and lenses can really help bridge the gap with and would be important for consideration no matter what gear you're using. Full frame is one of those things that I'd love to have down the line, but absolutely cannot justify given how amateur I am and expensive they get. Plus, pros use APS-C all the time. And M4/3 cameras are getting more and more popular and those are super cropped down compared to full frame and APS-C. I think there's a ton you can accomplish with something like a 70D... two people that I know who are actually making careers on this still swear by their 60D and use it all the time.
Another thing to consider for video is older manual lenses. I don't know how much you use autofocus, but older Canon, Nikon, Tamron/Vivitar, and other lenses can really be great buys on eBay, and I have to say that manual focus for video is a pretty useful thing to get down with and looks really great/artsy/whatever. These lenses can be really high spec for what they are and can be like $20, plus the cost of a converter for the EOS mount (like $9 I think).
I love this Veep clip, it perfectly summarizes how I feel when people with high end photo gear are condescending. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paJqHPHLExo
Obviously go for what you want, but really consider the practicality of it first. I definitely considered full frame at first because of the exact notion that people who use crop are amateurish, and then I realized (a) I am amateurish lol and that's fine and (b) no they're not and they can capture great photo and video.
If you are looking at wide angle stuff for crop, here's two more I know are good:

Just not super fast.
/u/HopefulUtopian helped me get some footing with video production basics so idk maybe he'll have more to add (he's one of those pro people, but not who I was referencing earlier about the 60D).
So the hard part with your request is that you don't get much of the shallow DOF effect that you're going for with a wide angle. It is possible, just difficult.
Casey Neistat uses a 10-22mm Canon lens that seems to work well for him. I personally use a 10-18 Canon lens that works well for me during my shoots.
I'm not the OP, but, since the fact that Flickr stores exif data by default seems to be a secret, I figured I'd let you in on it. See here for his settings.
In summary: it's a 7D (very nice camera - prefer my Nikon, though) exposed for 99 seconds, ISO 200, through a Canon 10-22mm lens at f/14.

I also use the kit lenses and I have a 50 mm
Seriously, as someone who has been in your position, don't waste your money with adapters.
I wasted my time and money with one....regretful purchase. Now it just sits in my bag taking up space.
Some of the cheap fisheyes are passable (Rokinon, Zenitar, Zenit[although I believe this is the same as the zenitar]) but they are lightyears behind a quality wide angle lens.
I know you have a budget, but I think 300 may be too restrictive to find something you will be happy with.
I ended up spending about 600 for the lens I have (Canon 10-22mm http://www.amazon.com/camera-photo/dp/B0002Y5WXE)
I got it off ebay and I love the lens. 9 times out of ten, I am shooting with it.
You can get away with a cheap speedlite.
You can get away with a cheap intervalometer.
You can get away with inexpensive tripods.
Buying cheap glass will always disappoint.
Save up some money and double your budget.
Check out Ken Rockwells site (http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/) and read his reviews (He reviews the zenitar and really puts it through its paces)
For some Comparison here are some shots I made before and after the new lens.
Here is a shot centered on Deneb with the 18-55 mm @ 18mm
This is another shot, centered on cygnus with the 10-22mm
Both shots were 5 minute exposures ( the Exif data is on each one) using a homemade barndoor mount that I built. Heading out tomorrow for a week in dark skies I should have some more shots soon and I am also trying out a iOptron skytracker so I am excited to see how that does.
TL;DR - Save more money and buy quality glass. It's never a bad idea to buy quality optics, and the resale value on well cared for quality optics is very high (>80% of what you paid) and can be worth more than you paid if the item is of good quality and no longer being manufactured.
Hey guys! First time checking out this subreddit.
Current camera: Canon T5i
Current lenses:
Two questions:
1: I wanted to get a wide angle lense for doing some star photography / landscapes / cityscapes. I was torn between these two lenses:
I don't really care that the 10-18 is mostly plastic, given the lenses I already have. But, I didn't know if the 10 - 22mm would be worth it. It also seems to be lacking IS but would it be more versatile having the extra 4mm and toting it around for the day?
2: While I love the prime 50mm I have, I find that it's incredible zoomed in for obvious reasons. I see a lot of amazing pictures taken (suggestive/tainted opinion, photos of which I aim to take) with prime lenses around the 20mm's range. These two lenses I was interested in and didn't know if they are more "wide angle" than they are actually for candid/portraits and a good reliable daily shooter:
Again, I'm running into the IS or no IS problem. Didn't know if people have had experiences with either.
Thank you!
https://www.amazon.com/Canon-EF-S-10-22mm-3-5-4-5-Digital/dp/B0002Y5WXE This is the one he had before. I'm not a big camera guy but I don't know if he really needs that expensive one or is it there no cheaper ones that fit his 80D, don't know. But the one he broke was around 600$.
If a 100$ lens works, I doubt there would be visible difference really because the small details are anyways gone after OBS compression and 3k bitrate.
10-4. So specifically, this lens https://www.amazon.com/Canon-EF-S-10-22mm-3-5-4-5-Digital/dp/B0002Y5WXE
will not take any pictures that can be enlarged to an adequate size?
Okay whatever maybe he's dirt poor, but he just spends a lot of money on some things. For example, the lens casey uses most of the time in the vlog is current for sale on amazon for $649, which is a fairly large chunk of cash. He's also purchased drones on a whim (the DJI phantom 3 costs $1,000), a few 17" MacBooks (the base model's of which are $2,00, though I would bet Casey gets at least $400 on upgraded stock models), as well as a made-to-build 17" macbook (highest end available are $3,200). He lives very near to his work, which for context is on the southern tip of manhattan, less than a mile away from ground zero. Rent for apartments in the area cost upwards of $7,000/month, as well as rent at what seems like a place with some very relaxed landlords considering how casey seems to drill through and into anything at a moments notice.
Yea he seems like he's hardly getting by honestly, those lenses are a real drain on his wallet.
Thanks for all the input. I'm trying to transition from serious hobby to career at this point. So it's not an expense I can justify yet when I still have loans and shit to pay.
I mostly shop through Amazon because I really don't know where else to look. But this is the one I was referring to.

And endangering yourself from smacking the mirror into the back of the lens if you don't remove the back part of the lens.
Unfortunately, wider lenses tend to be very expensive. That's because it's technically difficult to build a wide angle lens for a DSLR.
Your two main options are Canon EF-S 10-22 (I have one, it's excellent) at about $650 or Tokina 11-16 at about $550 (never used it but it has a good reputation). If you're lucky you may just find the previous version of the Tokina second-hand for $300 or a bit more.
