Canon EF-S 10-22mm lens

The Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM lens is a wide to ultra-wide angle zoom lens for Canon digital single-lens reflex cameras with a Canon EF-S lens mount. The field of view has a 35 mm equivalent focal length of 16-35mm, which is analogous to the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L on a full-frame camera. The 10-22mm is an internal focusing lens. Of the 13 elements, one is of Canon's Super Ultra-Low Dispersion glass and three are aspherical elements.

Light! I need light!

I have a 70-300mm and a 17-85mm. I work mostly at the 300mm end. I wanted a wide angle for those special shots. But beware the effect of the f/3.5 light limit. I also made a slight mistake by taking the 10-22mm to a wedding. I like to be unseen at weddings by using my 300mm. Can't be unseen with wide angle! Can't keep changing lenses. Perhaps I need 2 camera bodies. It is a superb lens, though.

Mind Blowing on Canon EOS 500D

I bought this lens to go with my 55-250mm and 18-55mm as we are going on a Norwegian Fjords Cruise later in the year and wanted a lens to capture the amazing scenery. From the test shots taken today I am certain that I won't be disappointed. The picture quality is outstanding. At 10mm I can also capture internal shots of rooms that give a wonderful feeling of depth. Can't fault it - I know there are cheaper lens out there but why do that to yourself?

Amazing!!!

Canon 10-22mm USM - Canon knows best... for Canon

12/04/2010

Having owned a Tamron wide angle zoom for my 5D and been very happy with it, my first instinct was to go third party and save £200 when I switched to a 40D - opting for the original Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6.

I was reasonably pleased with the results until I borrowed a friend's Canon 10-22mm USM for geeking about with, and discovered that I could get about 8% more image in, corner to corner at 10mm. Literally the Canon was wider at 10mm than the Sigma... Also, slightly closer focusing meant the Canon - despite producing some fantastic straight lines at this extreme wide angle - could also produce more "odd", nearly fisheye effects when used in extreme close-ups. All in all, it gives more flexibility.

When I upgraded to a 7D I went back out and tried all of the super-wide-angles from Sigma (both 10-20mms), Tamron (10-24mm) and this from Canon in a friendly local shop and once again it came out tops for resolution and range: only the new upgraded Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 came very close. In the end I opted for the Canon, got a good deal and love it. Its resolution is not quite as high as the 17-55mm IS, 70-300mm DO IS or 24-105mm L, but it's perfectly acceptable as probably few people plan to crop the hell out of a wide-angle image. Depending on your shooting style, and where you shoot you might even find that the range gives you a useful walk around as 22mm roughly equates to a 35mm lens on a 35mm SLR.

Bought this for landscapes and haven't been disappointed. Use it on a 450D and would thoroughly recommend it.
