Digital camera Review: Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM SLR Lens
Summary: 5 Stars
This compact, extremely well designed and light weight wide angle lens should have been designated an L series lens. For all of the small sensor digital SLR cameras, this lens cannot be beat. It is fast, quiet, accurate and has an internal focusing system. When equipped with the 77mm UV filter, this lens is protected against dust and seals it from most of the rain showers one encounters in most photographic situations. My recommendation is to purchase a high quality filter as the optics of this lens deserves the best.
I use the 16-35mm f2.8 on the full frame 5D. For the occasions where a lighter, smaller camera is needed, the Rebel XTs, XTi, for example, the same range can be covered using the 10-22mm EF-S. The 20D, 30D, 40D, also, with their 1.6 sensor, will cover the same range when using the 10-22mm EF-S lens. It should be noted that the 10-22 lens is not compatible with the full frame cameras.
Some images obtained from this lens have, on occasions, rivaled images using the 16-35mm f2.8 with the 5D. No lens will be 100% perfect and you will learn through experience, that each lens will have strengths and weaknesses. Knowing what the lens is capable of and your skill as a photographer will always be the varying factors.
For the serious photographer, or an aspiring one, like myself, the super wide angle lens is a must have! I purchased this lens and its lens hood through Amazon. Like the other many products I have purchased through Amazon, both the service and product has been exemplary.
The 10-22 EF-S lens is truly a remarkable lens. One of Canon's finest in my opinion. If you are wanting a super wide lens, look no further as this one is by far the very best out there.

Summary: 5 Stars
The Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM SLR Lens is the premier wide-angle zoom lens for the Canon 40D SLR. I purchased it after extensive research reading reputable reviews, including user experiences posted in photo forums. It has significantly less distortion at the wide end than any of the 3rd party lenses while maintaining better image quality. It is expensive, but I asked myself how long I would likely use it. Answer: the rest of my life! So I decided to not compromise and buy the proper lens for my 40D - and I haven't regretted it one bit.Digital camera Review: Canon EF-S 10-22mm f3.5-4.5 Review

First of all, I love this lens. For those who are contemplating between the Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 & Canon 10-22mm f3.5-4.5, you can't go wrong with either one, IMO. Everyone has different things that they look for in a lens.
I personally am satisfied with my Canon 10-22mm. When I was deciding between this & the Tokina, I was divided between focal length & the f#. The f2.8 caught my attention, but the limiting focal length just couldn't cut it for me. People commented that the Tokina was a solidly built, but the Canon feels great.
My 10-22mm is awesome. I use it for my all-purpose lens. It's great for landscape photography, especially with panoramic photos. It's decent for indoor low-light photography, but with a good flash, it's perfect. I'm especially fond of the distortion effect (some people don't like it); it makes unique/different photos, which I love.
Overall, I would make the same purchase if I could. I haven't used or held the Tokina, but I stand by my decision.

Digital camera Review: Canon EF-S 10-22mm: A Wonderful Lens!
Summary: 5 Stars
I researched at least four ultra wide angle lenses for my Canon Xsi (i.e. Canon, Sigma, Tamron, Tokina) ~ read the reviews, checked Flickr obsessively ~ and was impressed enough by what I read about the Tokina and Tamron that I honestly thought I was going to go with one of those. However, some less than stellar feedback I found in Flickr led me to reconsider.
Long-story-short, despite the significant price difference between this lens and its competitors I opted for the Canon; and after about a week of exclusively taking photographs with the EF-S 10-22mm I have been amazed at the image quality!
To be sure the lens has a "sweet spot" in terms of apeture (i.e. from 8 or higher), but working within that the colors just pop (no post-production necessary) and the clarity is outstanding.
I am by no means an expert photographer (this is by far the best lens I own), but I know what I like; and despite a sizable price difference the EF-S 10-22mm was worth the extra money (for me).

Thrilled with the performance on this product. I only object to the fact that the lens hood costs extra. This is part of the product. Otherwise very pleased with this.
