Customer Review: EFS 10-22mm F3.5-5.6 USM
Summary: 5 Stars
This super wide angle lens may cost more than the Sigma, Tamron, and Tokina equivalence. But you get what you pay for. Its focus is fast and its picture quality is close to my other L lenses. Lens flare and barrel distortion are very well controlled for such a wide angle. The lens may be slightly soft at wide open, but once you stop it down, you can get very good sharpness. The build quality, although it's plastic for its light weight, has exceeded my expectation. I have taken this lens to Antelope Canyon and there it was wind carrying with sand. I examined all the gaps of this lens, they were very tight. I did not see any sand get inside the glass. This is the super wide angle to get for APS-C camera bodies. The price is a little high compared against the third party ones. But it 's well worth it.Customer Review: Great lens
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this lens as a consumer user for landscape and family photos with my Canon D40. While I don't use it as an everyday lens, it works great in confined spaces (family pictures indoors) or when trying to get great scenic shots. There is little to no distortion around the edges and it's focus is very quick and accurate. The lens came in very handy when I captured some shots of the DC blizzard in and around our neighborhood. I could capture wide-angle shots giving a much better perspective of the snowbanks in the streets (e.g. capture both street views at an intersection). And it's great for capturing both close subjects and a broad background within the same shot. I haven't used other wide-angle lenses but this has worked great for me.Customer Review: Excellent Wide-Angle Lens
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this lens over a year ago from Amazon and have given it a good workout before typing this review. Overall, this is an excellent lens. The build quality is very solid and the glass is near Canon's legendary L quality. I have used this lens extensively for landscapes and close-up action shots, which really make you feel like you are in the scene. When purchasing this lens, keep in mind that using a wide-angle lens properly is different than other lenses. You must keep architectural lines straight or they will appear distorted, and you must "approach" your subject carefully to truly capture an immersive view. But once you learn the tricks of the trade, you will find many uses for this fun and versatile lens. Two thumbs up!Customer Review: Canon EF-S 10-22mm Takes Amazing Pics
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently bought this lens to add to my collection of lens with my Canon Rebel T2i DSLR. It takes amazing pictures in close quarter areas. This lens worked perfect for taking pictures of New York City. I was able to capture great shots of the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Central Park, etc. It's also great for taking pictures of rooms such as an office or any room in a house where a regular 18-55mm or even standard 50mm lens wouldn't help. It's well constructed unlike a lot of the kit lenses out there and is a tad heavy but not that bad. I would recommend this lens to anyone who wants to take a lot of scenic panoramic shots also, I got some amazing shots of the Brooklyn Bridge while out on a boat cruise in the harbor.Customer Review: Overall the best wide angle for ASP-C cameras
Summary: 5 Stars
I was postponing the purchase of this lens for a few month looking at other numerous options. Some lenses provide better resolution and aperture such as Tokina 11-17, some wider angle such as Sigma 8-16 but they all come with their significant shortcomings. For example Tokina has unacceptable flaring and chromatic aberrations. Canon is the only lens that does not have serious show stopping disadvantages. The most significant drawback of this lens for me is its variable aperture but I can live with it. Besides being a dedicated wide angle it is also useful as a regular walk around lens. I often use it with Hoya regular hight polarizing filter and do not see any vingetting.
