Don't be tempted to buy a cheap wide-angle (i'm talking fisheye here) - the ones you see on ebay are very cheaply made, and you'll get a terrible amount of optical distortion around the image, it's just not worth it.

If you ARE looking for a cheaper wide angle solution for the 300D, the best bets are probably

and

The last link specifically talks about the multiplication factor, but because it's mounted on a 10D it's only 1.4x.
