Shop for the best price on the Canon EF-S 10-22mm lens
ePhotozine reviews the Canon EF-S 10-20mm f/3.5-4.5 USM lens (a lens I'm currently eyeing off) and writes - 'The ultra-wide group to which this lens belongs has gone a long way towards overcoming the biggest drawback of cropped sensor dSLR�s, that of lost angle of view at the wide end. Being newly designed, it has addressed all of the other problems that have been thrown up by digital sensors and optically, if they had stopped at 20mm there would be very little to pick up on. The one slight disappointment is the build quality when looked at in terms of the price, as the cost is more than some �L� class lenses and is the biggest barrier to owning this lens after the need to have one of the limited cameras it will fit on.'
Chris at DSLR Blog has posted a first impression review of the Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM lens where he writes - 'Yes it is a lot of money for a non-L lens, and more than the third-party competition. It is also a lens for APS-C so will not go with me when I upgrade to a pro camera. On balance though I was willing to pay extra to get the best available to me and if I do upgrade to a full frame pro body I will probably swap this lens for the superlative full frame equivelant, the Canon 16-35mm f/2.8L.'
Camera Labs has a review of the Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM and writes, "n practice the Canon EF-S 10-22mm performs very well, especially considering its extreme coverage. In terms of resolution it matched or out-performed the EF-S 17-85mm and EF-S 18-55mm lenses, and was only just beaten by the premium EF-S 17-55mm model. Corner sharpness was also good with softness only visible when zoomed-out with larger apertures. Perhaps most impressive of all though were its geometry results. Due to their extreme coverage, ultra-wide angle zooms often suffer from significant barrel distortion. This was not the case with the EF-S 10-22mm though, which zoomed-out to 10mm, actually exhibited significantly lower barrel distortion than the EF-S 17-85mm did at 17mm."
