Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Zoom lenses are very convenient. The equivalent of two or more fixed focal length lenses in one unit. The maximum aperture of some zoom lenses changes as you alter the focal length, but through-the-lens (TTL) metering takes this into account to give correct exposure.
With its effective focal length range of approximately 16-35mm in 35mm format, the EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM is a remarkable lens with outstanding image quality that will take your photography into new dimensions and areas of dramatic expression.
The super-wide zoom not only gives you the freedom to get exactly what you want in the shot, it dramatically alters perspective to allow for dynamic expression. The lens allows you to get extremely close to subjects, exaggerating the difference in size between a near object and its background.
Creative photographers can use this phenomenon to create excellent separation between subject and background for a strong sense of presence, or for a pan-focus effect with everything from foreground to background sharply in focus.
Exceptionally light and compact for its focal length range, the EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM also has an incredibly close minimum focusing distance of just 24cm.A ring-type USM works in concert with the camera to provide super-fast, precision auto focusing and predictive tracking - with full manual override available at any time.Designed specifically for digital photography, the lens has specially shaped lens elements and Super Spectra coatings to suppress ghosting and flare, which can be caused by reflections off digital camera sensors.
An exclusive optional lens hood can further reduce the incidence of flare.A circular aperture provides a pleasing background blur when shooting with a wide aperture; ideal for creating a sense of depth and getting your subject or model to stand out from the background.

This lens was created to fill the hole in Canon's range for a super wide angle lens for their range of EF-S mount DSLR's.
Fortunately, since it inhabits a unique position in the range, it is a superb lens and there is no real alternative (from Canon anyway) that covers the same focal lengths.
It's not an L lens so don't expect weather sealing and and lens pouches/lens hoods in the box. Do expect a very well built lens with excellent image quality.
The lens has a very close minimum focusing distance of 24 cm which can be useful for odd effects at the wide end of things. The zoom and focusing rings are smooth and well placed. The lens takes huge filters (77mm) which can add a lot to the purchase price but should be considered essential as the front element is very convex and should be protected. A useful tip - get the slimmest filters you can for this lens as the lens is so wide angle standard filters will cut off the corners a fraction in the frame.
Image quality is excellent. DOF is almost a non issue with this lens as even at minimum aperture and focusing distances greater than close range everything seems to be in focus. There is no appreciable increase in sharpness when stopping down either like you get with some lenses. I leave mine at around f5.6 all the time because I read somewhere that this is the sweet spot for the lens (it's all sweet but apparently this is marginally sweeter). There is a little bit of colour fringing that can creep in for backlit subjects but nothing that can't be edited out and it's par for the course for a lens of this type. What is probably better than normal in terms of performance is the lens' control of flare which is very good. I haven't had flare in my shots even with the sun in the frame. There is no noticeable pincusion/barrel effect either. Solid performance all round.
So if you have an EF-S mount Canon there really are not many choices out there for a super wide lens. It's not the cheapest but it probably is the best out there right now.

I absolutely adore this lens. Given the very wide angle you can pull off some very creative shots with this it. It is a fantastic portrait lens, allowing you to get close to the subject whilst still having a lot of the background visible.
The close minimum focus distance of only 24cm is a great and very useful feature!
It also works really well when used for Astophotography! I have taken some absolutely stunning pictures with this lens aimed at the nighy sky!
Very low distortion from this lens even at its widest, its not an L series lens but it may as well be - the glass is of incredible quality although unlike most L lenses are it is not weather sealed as mentioned in another review.
Overall this lens comes at a cost but the pictures you can take with it make it a worthwile addition to your kitbag!

I own this lens since a month now and I can only say "waouh..." I've never use so wide a lens before (28mm was the lowest I've used before) but it's a revelation. I corroborate previous comments, the lens is sharp at all apertures, there is almost no barrel distorsion even at 10mm wide open. It was perfect for snow pictures a couple of weeks ago.
Only downsize is the lack of a hood as commented previously and if you want to use a UV filter you need a slim one wich add to the cost. And if you want a polariser it's even worse.

Indispensable for Crop Bodies and landscape!
Without doubt, this is the lens I most enjoy using on my Canon 60D. For landscape (and for my tastes) the range is perfect, equivalent to 16mm-35mm full-frame/36mm. Read more
