Product Description
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.

 Excellent, Excellent January 7, 2009

I strapped this onto my 40D and it was like a whole new world of possibilities was revealed. This lens has the same field of view as the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM on a full-framed sensor. And boy is it wide.
Although I would have liked in f/2.8 thru the zoom and weather sealing, I cannot complain otherwise.
You'll want to photograph all the big things and tight spaces you otherwise couldn't get in with your other lenses.
It is an excellent lens.
Great wide-angle December 31, 2008

I am very pleased with this lens. Images are sharp all the way to the corners. I can't see any chromatic aberration. Recommended.
very pleased indeed December 29, 2008

If you like an artistic style and really want to get a wider picture, then you will certainly not be disappointed with this lens. The color and clarity of this lens is fantastic and it's a blast to use! Just be sure to practice with it first if you take shots with people in it...as it will distort.
So much fun and a must have for any non traditional photographer!
 Very disappointed with this lens December 29, 2008

I purchased this lens for my Canon 40D and have been very disappointed with the extremely soft images throughout the focal range of the lens. Yes, you can get a great wide angle shot on 1.6 factor cameras (Rebel, 10D, 20D, 30D, 40D and 50D) but the shots look like they were made with a barely acceptable point and shoot camera. I had hoped for much better from Canon. I've sent it to the factory for repair/adjustment 3 times, and it's always come back the same, with a lack of definition, barely acceptable saturation and no "pop".
I did some test shots comparing the Canon 10-22mm with Sigma's 10-20mm, and the Sigma won by a mile, with at least twice the sharpness and saturation. Why buy a pricey lens only to get mediocre images--and my wife's cheap compact Fuji actually takes better images than this lens.
I love shooting with Canon, but this lens now just sits in my bag, and I don't even feel good about selling it to someone else. Canon should never be putting out a lens with such obvious inferiority, especially at such relatively high cost. I don't know if mine is simply a bad lens, but I'd have expected that Canon's repair department would have corrected it with its 3 trips into the factory. Right now I just have a very expensive paperweight. My advice: Only buy at a local store where you can test each individual lens before buying to make sure you get a good one.
 Love it! December 2, 2008

Here's my personal pro/con list after I took this lens out to DC for a weekend.
Pros:
Extremely wide - WOW!
Lightweight. Can't believe how light this. Probably the lightest among wide angle lens.
Interesting effects can be achieved which is normally difficult in normal zoom lens.
Fast focus, and very quiet.
Cons:
My most expensive lens. For sure will take a bite out of your wallet.
Bad lens distortion wide open 10-12mm. Can be corrected slightly in photoshop, but sucks for architecture because lines become bent.
Overall, a great lens for traveling. One of my favorite lens.
