Fantastic for Landscape
on August 21, 2010
Posted by: Seth
from Pennsylvania
I recently purchased this lens and brought it along on a backpacking trip in colorado. I can only say great things about image quality and build quality, although the price is a bit steep. This lens excelled at taking landscapes as well as taking great pictures of architecture before and after the hike. I kept it in a plastic ziplock and it held up great to hail, rain and temp changes while in the plastic bag which was tucked safely inside my backpack. All in all, this is a great lens that gives you a professional uber-wide angle look (if you are willing to shell out the money).
Cons: price
I would recommend this to a friend!

Wonderful ultra wide angle EF-S lens
on April 25, 2014
Posted by: Steve
from South Eastern US
I use the 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM mainly for waterfalls and small cascades in the mountains of the south east US. With a APS-C camera sensor this focal length is superb. While there is some distortion at the 10mm end for my purposes it is not objectionable. However, there is a fair amount of chromatic aberration. The lens produces fairly sharp images. The corners are less sharp. However, at this scale of image size details are small and it is not objectionable. The lens is not overly heavy, but it does have a nice quality feel and weight to it. The focus ring is nicely balanced, not too stiff nor too loose.
I would have rated the lens higher for Features, but it does not come with a lens hood, and should.
I would like to rate the quality higher, but the lens is not weather sealed. For my shooting near water spray, this would be great.
However, the quality of the images, the size of the lens, and the price make this lens an excellent product.
Pros: sharp images, nice contrast
Cons: not wide aperture, some chromatic aberration
I would recommend this to a friend!

As far as I can tell this is "L" series lens without the price. The glass is great, haven't been disapointed with any shots made with lens. Thanks Canon
Pros: Super-sharp images, Fast auto-focus, "l" series glass
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Landscape Lense!

from Boston, MA
This lense is fantastic for landscape shots! I am very satisfied with this lense in built and image. I am not sure why people complain about the price, personally I think it is a great value for a ultra wide angle lense with sharp images.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Tunnel Vision

The Canon EF-S 10-22mm is a lot of fun! The expansive field of view is great for use indoors and it will give you the feeling of really being there when used for landscapes. Just keep your friends away from the edge of the frame when using the 10mm focal length! Barrel distortion is a real factor with this lens.
-----FOCUS-----
Autofocus is fast and silent as a ninja. The full time availability of manual focus is also nice. The focusing ring moves smoothly with a comfortable abount of resistance,
and focusing the lens does not change its overall length nor does it rotate the lens filter (delight for polarizer fans!)
-----ZOOM-----
There is no lens creep to speak of so if you point the lens straight up or straight down it will not try to zoom on its own. The zoom action is smooth with good resistance, and zooming this lens does not change its overall length. The front element is contained behind the lens filter and moves independently of it, no rotation or extension of the filter when zooming. The entire focal length is accessible with roughly a 60 degree rotation of the zoom ring.
-----IMAGE QUALITY-----
Subjects in the center of the image are always sharp and true to color with absolute minimal aberration. At a focal length of 10mm there is considerable barrel distortion and aberration becomes noticeable too around the edges of the frame. Be careful if taking group photos at 10mm focal length, your friends at the far edge of the frame will look significantly wider!
-----WRAP IT UP ! -----
I like this lens. Its built well, works well, and looks good! There are two things prevented me from rating 5*, first is the amount of barrel distortion and aberration at 10mm. Most people probably intend to use the 10mm focal length for the majority of their shooting with this lens- as I do. You just have to do it carefully, compose your shot with the utomst attention to all subjects near the edges.
Second, the price/ value. This is a great lens yes, but its not "L" quality, and no IS tell me the price could be less than what it is. I still highly recommend this lens!
Hope this has helped. Happy shooting!

Great Wide Zoom
on February 24, 2010
Posted by: Kyle
from St Louis, MO
I have owned this lens for a couple of years. I just love the fact that this lens wide open is 10mm (equiv of a 16mm on full frame). The images with this lens are sharp. It is in my experience the best EFS lens. If the lens has a con at all it is the fact that it only zooms to 22mm not 24mm, but this is a minor issue at best.
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Super-sharp images, equal to a 16mm on a full frame
I would recommend this to a friend!

The standard for crop-sensor Canon Cameras
on June 21, 2012
Posted by: PVL
from Bangor, ME
The standard for crop-sensor cameras. I've had this lens for 3 years now. It's a little slow, but since it's used mostly outside, that doesn't really matter. And since you're likely to use it with slow shutter speeds and high ISO, also not a factor . it's sharp, internal focusing and internal zooming. No more to say. If you have 60D, 7D, Rebel xxx and want a wide angle lens, this is it. no need to get anything else. If you want anything bigger or faster, you need to get a full frame Canon and some primes or 16-35 zoom. mucho dinero. If you're a pro, this ain't your lens. If you're a shmo, this is your wide-angle zoom, baby!!!
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Superior build quality, Super-sharp images
Cons: a little slow
I would recommend this to a friend!
