Nice wide angle/field lens to try might be the "nifty fifty" - EF 50mm f1.8 MkII. (Maybe not a truly w-i-d-e angle though!!!)
Can be picked up for around $100, stopped down past f2.8 it's amazingly sharp for such a cheap lens. Build quality is reflected in price though.
Check out Mike's recent Rho region pic in the deep sky section - taken with the MkI version I believe.Also Bill Christie's (2020BC) widefields with this lens are great.
