Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM SLR Lens for EOS Digital SLRs
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: bottom line...sick awesome lens.
Summary: 5 Stars
bought this beast yesterday. here's the deal--so good. read the reviews. i pondered to tokina, sigma--whatever. sounded good. but i wanted canon quality. new t1i refurb which needed good glass i guess, cause this action delivered. specs all sounded good. have the kit 18-55mm (which is surprisingly good and image stabilization kicks...) and 50mm f/1.8 cheapo. so specs and my need for wide angle prompted me to dive into a used lens. 24 hours later. had my camera for 5 of those. reviews, specs, stats, sweet spots, yeah yeah yeah. don't worry about any of it. this lens kicks a$. color. sharpness. bokeh (oh my). view (WIDE!! yeah!). so good. so good.
Customer Review: Best in This Class
Summary: 5 Stars
I was in doubt about what ultra wide angle lens I should get for my Canon 40D. Firstly, I thought about Sigma 10-20mm but after reading the reviews that say that there is a great possibility of getting a bad copy from Sigma I gave up. Then I thought about Tokina 11-16mm but I did not like all that fringe coming along with it and price was about the same of the Canon 10-22mm. Finally, I decided for the Canon 10-22mm after reading the reviews in pro of it. I can tell you after some shots with Canon 10-22mm that I agree that this lens is the best in its class. I bit expensive one must confess but we pay for what what we get and quality does not come cheap. This lens is Tac Sharp and the construction is wonderful. I think it is not considered a red ring by Canon because it is not sealed. It has internal focus and the ring focus and zoom are smooth all the way. It is also pretty wide for an E-FS lens. The only not so good characteristics of this lens that I could point out is that the maximum aperture is F/3.5 but that is not a big issue if you do outdoors. There is a photo of mine uploaded to Amazon taken with my Canon E-FS 10-22mm on my Canon 40D. It is New York seen from above. Check it out and make sure the lens is good. An image says more than 1000 worlds, right? I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS AWESOME LENS...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 10-22mm lens

I have been very happy with this lens. I like to take a lot of landscape type pictures, and I really wanted a lens with a wider angle. I took this lens to the beach and the angle was so wide that I could get the last of the sunset and the moon in the same picture (the moon was almost directly overhead). I would just say if you get this lens to make sure you also have a lens that zooms since the nature of this lens is to not zoom in very much.
