Using a screw on wide converter with a fast lens will result in a poor quality image. If you need to shoot wide angle images at large apertures like f/1.8 then your options are limited to something like the Sigma 20mmCanon 28mm f/1.8 or Sigma 2430 f/1.84 both of which are around £450£350.
Alternatively upgrading your camera to the original 5D would cost about the same, anda little more (~£450) but would act like a 0.625x4x wide converter that improves image quality!
