No, T2i pictures will start looking like 5D pictures once you put a lens like this in front.
You will save money on upgrading to newer cameras thinking T2i sucks.

24mm is quite wide for me.
It just depends on type of shots you like.
Look at your collection and see how many shots you shot below 24mm.

I jumped on this deal last time around and I've had no problem with the lens. It came packaged in a white box with what looked like factory packaging. So far I've found it to be a great deal.
