Digital camera reviews of Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM SLR Lens for EOS Digital SLRs

Digital camera Review: "L" glass for less than "L" pricing
Summary: 5 Stars

If you are using a crop sensor digital camera then this lens is a must have. 10mm @35mm = 16mm on the EOS 7D. Super wide, super sharp, this is basically an "L" glass quality lens without the "L" glass packaging. It's a great lens and really a must have for any crop sensor photographer.

Be warned at the widest 10mm settings you will get a dark shadow on the bottom of the photo when using the on-camera flash of the EOS 7D. The 7D flash is simply not wide enough nor high enough to deal with the super wide angles this lens offers. You can adjust the zoom to somewhere in the 15-17mm range to eliminate the dark shadow, but then you aren't shooting at 10mm any more.

Throw a good quality B&W filter on it for protection and you're all set.

It's my opinion that Canon has chosen to only offer "L" glass lenses in the standard EF mount, and offers lenses that are near "L" quality in the EF-S mount as a middle of the road solution to those shooting with crop sensor cameras and demanding professional quality glass.

Summary of Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM SLR Lens for EOS Digital SLRs

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.
