More lens help

Hi guys so I have some money I want to spend on a lens for my Canon T2i.

I already have a ef-s 18-55 mm lens and an ef-s 70-300 mm lens.

I have about 160$ to spend on the lens and want something new. I was maybe thinking a fish eye or macro lens but i don't know what kind of lens and which one to get.

Any recondations would be great

What do you want to use the lens for? Skiing?

Yeah skiing and making edits, but also things like shooting the night sky and time lapses

$160 isn't going to get you a lot of good glass. You could take a look at the vintage glass thread and maybe find a deal on your local craigslist. Or you could up your budget a bit and look at a Tamron 17-50 or a Tokina 11-16. Both are fantastic lenses for your crop camera.

Yeah if you want a really wide lens $160 won't get much. This might not be as wide as you want, but is in your price range. Check out the Canon 24mm pancake, its still on preorder but there's still some info out there on it
