I just finished 3 weeks of shooting New Zealand landscapes on a Canon T1i. The 10-22mm ultrawide got a workout - and performed flawlessly. One minor beef is vignetting with stacked filters - and some conventional 77mm CPLs. Easy to solve with an low profile filter.

Light; fast; square; and VERY wide

Costly and requires low profile CP filter

Canon's 10-22mm is a 2.2x zoom, offering potential great value for money. The Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM lens review sees just how good it is in the real world...

Extended zoom range

Lack of MTF consistency

Up until now, there haven't been many truly wide angle zoom solutions for Canon's APS- C sized sensors. This lens changes that picture, but at a price. But if you need a high-quality wide to medium-wide zoom for your small sensor format Canon, you can't beat the performance of the EF-S 10-22mm USM.

First released in August of 2004, Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM has an equivalent field of view of 16-35mm on APS-C type cameras with 1.6x crop ratio. The lens bears EF-S designation, meaning that it is specifically designed for APS-C type dSLRs (the lens has a protruding rear element, which...
