Great lens! Merrits a little red ring...

Although the lens doesn't offer the faster f/2.8 that you can get with 'off brand' lenses, the Canon quality is unbeatable. The glass seems superior, yielding sharp images at all f stops that I shoot at (3.5-11) and also delivers some eye popping bokeh around f/3.5. In over all quality it beats the pants off of most of the other wide angle lenses. I lug this lens around as almost a standard on my 40D (other than my 35mm f/2 it's never seen off that body).
One problem that may come up for the potential buyer is the amount of distortion along the edges of the frame at 10mm, but at that length anyone should know that you're flirting pretty close to fish-eye. And if it really bothers you... you still don't need 10mm to grab a really beautiful wide angle capture with this lens.
The only true down side to this lens is that it's EF-S, but since the 7D was recently unveiled... I won't have to worry about having to trade it in for the actual L series glass (not saying that it isn't of near-L series quality...because it is).
Get this lens, it's worth every penny.
Pros: Super-sharp images, Superior build quality, Fast auto-focus, reliable, versitile
Cons: price

Partial Test of Lens

Put this lens through the paces at a Christmas party I went to, was the only one there that had a camera so I'm glad I had it. Using a Canon T5i with the lens, every pic was very sharp. Very happy with the outcome, hopefully I will get more chances to take more pictures of work gatherings.

Awesome Super-wide
on August 6, 2009
Posted by: Brandon
from Pitman, NJ
This lens is just fantastic. The USM focuses instantly, even in an almost dark room. Colors come out amazingly vibrant and super sharp. It has a very nice minimum focusing distance and very smooth bokeh when do you get really close to a subject (just be aware of the heavy distortion on the wide end). Build quality is good for a EF-S lens and it is internal focusing. The only thing I wish this lens had was a little bit larger aperture. Very happy with my purchase and I think this is a good tool on any crop camera today.
Pros: Super-sharp images, Fast auto-focus

Increased The Value Of The R7
on November 13, 2022
Posted by: JohnG
from Rural South Texas
I got this lens because I wanted a wider lens than the surprisingly good 18-150 that came with my R7 as part of the kit. I was concerned if the function using the EF-S would be an issue coupling this lens to the R7 using the EF to RF Canon adapter.
I'm happy to say that the combination of R7 to EF adapter to the EF-S 10-22 lens works perfectly. Now I have the wide angle lens in a zoom range that I wished for. This will serve until Canon issues the 11-22 (or so) that I was hoping for.

fantastic super wide angle for APS cameras
on June 15, 2011

If you have a non-full frame Canon camera body, this lense is a must! I have taken it on historical tours inside and it provides the widest, clearest shot possible. It will not work on a full-frame camera, however! I have been so impressed with the image quality and ease of use, that I would have compared it with Canon's L lenses, but none of the APS lenses are L's. There are technical test sites that can give you the pluses and minuses, but all of the sites I have checked give this lense a high rating, too. You can get non-Canon lenses with similar range, but I have stuck to Canon only and have never been sorry. They really put out a quality lense if you go for the L's. But to get to 10-22 for APS, you have only one lense outside of fisheyes, and this is it.
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Superior build quality, Super-sharp images, lightweight

L series optics in EF-S dress
on June 17, 2012
Posted by: Donnie G
from Chicago, IL.
I absolutely love this lens. I've owned this lens for three years now and I use it to shoot over ninety percent of my photos. With its 16-35mm equivalent coverage on APS-C Canon bodies, versatile doesn't even begin to describe how useful this lens is. I shoot lots of christenings, baptisms, birthday parties, small weddings, etc., in homes and churches where often the reception or family gathering is held in a small and crowded room with lots of activity going on. The long end of this wide angle zoom is perfect for natural looking portraits and the wide end allows me to capture practically any size group that my customers might spring on me. With its 77mm front and the lens shade attached, it gives the camera a proper professional look that makes my subjects perk up when they see it pointed their way. Even kids and pets are impressed, and that certainly makes my job easier. Additionally, the lens is tack sharp, lightweight, durable and compact for its focal length and worth every penny of its asking price.
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Superior build quality, Super-sharp images, all purpose workhorse

Another Winner!
on November 7, 2014

Canon has been my favorite tool for the photography I've done throughout the past 50 years. I started with the FTb, graduated into a full F1 system, and when digital came along used the XTi and then a 1D, and now have a 60D, which I mainly use for scenic HDR panoramas. I had been using the EFS 18-135 lens for these, and wanted a larger angle of view, but on my limited retirement income could not afford the "L" series class. I
purchased the 10-18mm lens, and am very happy with the results it renders. I don't find any problem with it having the plastic (instead of metal) rear housing. The optics are excellent, as I have come to expect from Canon, and I am very happy with the value I have received for my money - Thanks, Canon!

Best Non-L lens
on October 3, 2011
Posted by: NinjaPlease
from Washington, DC
After reading numerous positive reviews about this lens I managed to pick one up used for a great price. To date, I've only been using noob lenses (kit lens, 55-250, 50mm 1.8) so this was my first major lens purchase and I couldn't be more pleased with it.
I shot lots of landscapes so my kit lens wasn't quite wide enough for that but this thing is perfect as it captures more and it has great quality. Even for use indoors this thing is superb as you're able to get wider angle shots within relatively tight quarters...no more having to scrunch everyone together for a group pic using this lens. In low light, this thing isn't too bad however the AF could be a smidge faster. While not being an L lens, this lens nonetheless does a great job capturing crystal clear pics in ample lit situations. With a flash, this thing works pretty well indoors as well.
The price is a bit steep for a non L lens however my used price for this made it too hard to pass up. Overall, this is a great lens for landscape/indoor use and I'm really digging this lens.
