Excellent super-wide solution for EF-S mount.......2007-04-22
This lens was created to fill the hole in Canon's range for a super wide angle lens for their range of EF-S mount DSLR's.
Fortunately, since it inhabits a unique position in the range, it is a superb lens and there is no real alternative (from Canon anyway) that covers the same focal lengths.
It's not an L lens so don't expect weather sealing and and lens pouches/lens hoods in the box. Do expect a very well built lens with excellent image quality.
The lens has a very close minimum focusing distance of 24 cm which can be useful for odd effects at the wide end of things. The zoom and focusing rings are smooth and well placed. The lens takes huge filters (77mm) which can add a lot to the purchase price but should be considered essential as the front element is very convex and should be protected. A useful tip - get the slimmest filters you can for this lens as the lens is so wide angle standard filters will cut off the corners a fraction in the frame.
Image quality is excellent. DOF is almost a non issue with this lens as even at minimum aperture and focusing distances greater than close range everything seems to be in focus. There is no appreciable increase in sharpness when stopping down either like you get with some lenses. I leave mine at around f5.6 all the time because I read somewhere that this is the sweet spot for the lens (it's all sweet but apparently this is marginally sweeter). There is a little bit of colour fringing that can creep in for backlit subjects but nothing that can't be edited out and it's par for the course for a lens of this type. What is probably better than normal in terms of performance is the lens' control of flare which is very good. I haven't had flare in my shots even with the sun in the frame. There is no noticeable pincusion/barrel effect either. Solid performance all round.
So if you have an EF-S mount Canon there really are not many choices out there for a super wide lens. It's not the cheapest but it probably is the best out there right now.
Really wide angle for EOS400.......2007-03-12
If you want wide angle and have a Canon 400d/350d this is the lens. Even with the cropping factor it goes really wide (16mm) and you can get some wonderful panoramic photos. It's sharp, with good contrast and colours and only very mild vignetting at the 10mm end of things. Compared with other (admittedly cheaper) lenses from 3rd parties this is streets ahead.
Focusing is quick and nearly silent and the lens has full time manual focus and it focuses *really* close, close enough that if you take a picture of someone near and dear to you at 10mm you'll practically have the front element of the lens touching their nose, and get a picture they won't want published! There's no IS, but for a lens with this focal range that shouldn't be an issue.
My only (minor) gripes are that focus and zoom rings are in the opposite order to 'L' series lenses and it comes without a soft case or a lens hood, and at this price I don't see why I should have to pay extra for these items, *particularly* the lens hood.
Probably not a good buy if you're planning on going full frame in the near future, but if you can afford a full frame Canon digital, the odd £500 or so isn't going to matter :-)
Super Wide-angle lens.......2005-02-13
This is a superb lens for the EOS 300-D or 20D. At last we can shoot real wide-angle - I use it for landscapes and have been delighted with the image quality. It feels a quality piece of kit as well, which helps when you're spending this sort of money!
Canon Digital -SLR Lens EF-S 10-22mm f3.5-4.5 USM lens.......2005-02-09
Stunning bit of kit! I take a lot of photos of interiors of hotel rooms etc. This lense gives a brilliant wide angle and minimum distortion. Usual excellent Canon reliability and overall quality. Used with my new EOS 20D it takes a lot of beating.
Product Description
An ultra wide-angle zoom lens with dynamic expressive capability for all EF-S mount EOS cameras; exceptionally small and lightweight for maximum mobility.
Product Description
One of the most important accessories for each lens you own. A lens hood provides multiple functions: it shades the lens from stray light, improving your contrast and image quality in inclement weather, it can assist in keeping moisture or wind-blown debris off the lens and it protects the front barrel from the inevitable impacts against walls, door frames, and other real-life obstacles.
