i have a canon t3i want the widest lens possible without getting a fisheye (and the massive distortion that comes with it) I was looking at the rokinon 12mm. The problem is that since the t3i is crop sensor that works about to an 18mm. Is that wide enough for follow cams and such?

I have a Tokina 11-16 on my t5i and it is perfect for follow cams

most at of the shots in this were filmed on that setup

Widest possible that still looks good imo opinion is 8mm (Check out samyang/rokinon/etc)

For reference, I filmed this edit pretty much entirely on one:
