Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM SLR Lens for EOS Digital SLRs
Customer Review: Very disappointed with this lens
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this lens for my Canon 40D and have been very disappointed with the extremely soft images throughout the focal range of the lens. Yes, you can get a great wide angle shot on 1.6 factor cameras (Rebel, 10D, 20D, 30D, 40D and 50D) but the shots look like they were made with a barely acceptable point and shoot camera. I had hoped for much better from Canon. I've sent it to the factory for repair/adjustment 3 times, and it's always come back the same, with a lack of definition, barely acceptable saturation and no "pop".
I did some test shots comparing the Canon 10-22mm with Sigma's 10-20mm, and the Sigma won by a mile, with at least twice the sharpness and saturation. Why buy a pricey lens only to get mediocre images--and my wife's cheap compact Fuji actually takes better images than this lens.
I love shooting with Canon, but this lens now just sits in my bag, and I don't even feel good about selling it to someone else. Canon should never be putting out a lens with such obvious inferiority, especially at such relatively high cost. I don't know if mine is simply a bad lens, but I'd have expected that Canon's repair department would have corrected it with its 3 trips into the factory. Right now I just have a very expensive paperweight. My advice: Only buy at a local store where you can test each individual lens before buying to make sure you get a good one.
Customer Review: price is ridiculous
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm sorry but where exactly did the $1400 list price come from? canon's web site has this retail at $859.99, and every other retailer has this at $820. adorama has an $820 price, B&H has a $820 price.... and I know you can get slightly less than $820 if you know where to go. c'mon norman, your $580 savings is complete BS. I'll never buy from you, as I don't trust you for a second.
Seriously, this is a good lens, but buy it from a shop that doesn't try to make their price sound like it's a fantastic deal. $1400 list? really? that's not what the manufacturer says.
