Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM SLR Lens for EOS Digital SLRsFrom Canon : Canon Eos Digital Slr

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.

Customer Reviews

Awesome non-full frame lens.
Ive had this lens for about a year now and it is one of my favorites to shoot with. The pictures always surprise me when I get back home after a day out and about. Even with 3.5 as its lowest aperture you can get amazing low light shots without a flash even hand held. Personally I bought this expecting distortion which is kinda what I wanted but the only times Ive really noticed distortion is shooting straight up the side of a skyscraper at 10mm. Almost all distortion goes as soon as your start zooming. Its also held up really well to my abuse. Ive taken it out to the middle of the desert in early spring a day at the beach where it was so cold my hands cramped up before my camera did and there was lots of swirling dust and being jostled by kids at the California Academy of Sciences. If this wasnt an EF-S Im sure itd have a good chance at being considered an L lens. It has definitely been worth the price for me. Im just sad I wont be able to use it on the 5D Mark II when I get it.

Great little lens
Great lens for what it is - a very wide angle lens for crop cameras. There arent all that many options out there anyway and if you own a Canon crop camera XTi XSi 40D 50D then this is the lens to get. Pretty amazing optical quality for a non-L lens. And the build is pretty decent only a half-step below L quality in my books. Its actually the only non-L zoom lens I own and thats only because its just about the only decent option in this focal length range. This is optically much better than the Sigma offerings. The only other lens I would consider in this range is the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 which is very hard to find. You can make some pretty amazing creative shots with this lens. Well worth the price. Only downsides are: 1 no hood included - get an excellent THIN wide-angle hood worth the investment to get a good one 2 wont be compatible with full-frame cameras if you ever go that route. Though Canons top dogs claim they will continue to make the EF-S sensor cameras for the forseeable future anyway After youre got the "normal" range covered buy either the Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 or the Canon 24-105mm f/4L first this is probably the next lens to get. Your creative juices will really flow when you click this baby onto your camera and see what it can do....

Great Lens
Im gonna make this short and simple. This is a great lens ... though not an everyday lens. This lens is made to create art. Get it in their face ... push it up tight to long vast lines ... try to create situations with this lens ... distort objects.
