Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM SLR Lens for EOS Digital SLRs
Customer Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
I am really enjoying the Canon 10-22 Lens.
I purchased this about 8 months or so ago to add to my lens collection and to try to improve on the imagges from the Kit Lens. Though the Kit Lens is okay, the other lenses in Canon's collection do perform better. (I also have the 60mm prime lens.)
Though this lens is slightly more expensive than some of the other brands, I have had very pleasent experiences with Canon products.
The color and resolution of the 10-22mm is superb, though at full wide angle there is some slight distortion/strange affects which is pretty much to be expected in Wide Angle lenses, especiallly non-prime ones. 12mm or so and up and I reallly like how it works. Opens up new possibilties of shooting if you have not used a wide angle before.
One thing to note is that this is not for a full frame sensor camera (though if you own a full frame you are probably aware of this.)
Customer Review: Huge WOW factor!
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked up this lens when I purchased my 30D. All I can say is WOW! What a terrific lens this is. If not for the "S" designation it would probably be an "L" lens for sure.
OK, so it won't work on the 5D & up...who cares..? Frankly I don't see the point of the 5D. It has nothing over the 30D in real life terms...might as well bite the bullet and head for the 1Ds Mark II. In which case money can no longer be considered part of the equation...it's just a serious tool.
If you own one of the cameras that can use it, or are thinking about such a move, by all means grab this one. Yeah, other makers have a lens that's about the same but let's face it...nothing beats a quality Canon USM lens. And this is just that...a quality USM lens.
Between this and the other lenses I just bought (24-70 f/2.8L & 70-200 f/2.8L), I may just have to put my Nikon F4s up for sale...or hand it over to my kids.
Customer Review: I love this lens!
Summary: 5 Stars
I like zoom lenses. I have a 100-400L that I use all the time. I had no idea that I would like wide-angle lenses so much as well!
This lens is WIDE. Even on the crop factor cameras that it is designed for, it is still pretty wide compared to anything I was used to before.
It is great for landscapes and at 22mm is usable as a 35mm type everyday lens on a crop factor sensor camera.
The effects you can get by using the 10mm side of the lens are extremely interesting and the landscape shots are also very useful.
I even have a picture of an underground waterfall (Ruby Falls) that I took handheld with 1/8th of a second exposure that is sharp and crisp because of the short focal length.
Construction and quality are excellent and I consider this a must-have lens in my kit for my EF-S cameras.
Customer Review: Outstanding lens
Summary: 5 Stars
I spent a great deal time studying the different manufactures lens' and talked to a number of "better" photographers than myself. The bottom line was I sprung for the few extra dollors and got the Canon. I have been extremely pleased with this lens a if I had to do it over again, I would just get the Canon. I'm sure the other lense are great but I'm happy I got this one and I use it as a general lens more than I thought I would. The Pictures are superb. Prior to this lens, I got the 70-300 IS DO canon lens when I couldn't get a 70-300 IS last summer before trip to Africa to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and go on a Safari. For me the extra money was worth it for the the smaller size and truly outstanding pictures. All of this from a prior Nikon user. And to think I was breath away from getting the Nikon 70 instead of the Canon Rebal XT.Customer Review: Seriously fun lens!
Summary: 5 Stars
I own the 17-40mm L, but wanted an even wider angle. I didn't know if I'd like this lens or even use it much given I have the 17-40mm. Well, the 10mm wide end versus 17mm is very different, and I am loving this lens! I've gotten some incredible shots. I will keep the 17-40mm because I will move up to a full-frame sensor in the future, but in the mean time this has replaced it; I didn't realize what I was missing since going digital until I got this lens. To my eyes the barrel or pincushion distortion mentioned by others is not apparent, lines stay pretty straight. Tip: get Photoshop CS3 if you can upgrade to it or can afford it, it has a perspective correction filter that works well (also corrects barrel/pincushion effects) -- just don't try and overdo it.
I haven't had this much fun with a lens for many, many years.
