Thoughts on Canon 10-22?

[tertius]

I've been offered a 10-22 at a decent price, and since it would nicely complement the lenses I already have (nothing below 18mm) I'm very tempted.

Any thoughts/experiences with it?

Only downside I can see is its EF-S and will only fit 1.6 crop sensors (which I have) so any future upgrade will be compromised.

cheers

It would fit a 400D, its being sold at work - I think there's quite a queue of interested buyers ...

good lens, lot lighter than the rest of the UWA lenses.

I have no complaints with mine, used the it to really capture the scale of the local flooding - would recommend it if the price is right!

Hi,

Take a look at this comparison of the ultra-wide zooms :
http://kenrockwell.com/tech/digital-wide-zooms/com...

Its comparing -
Nikon 12-24 mm f/4
Tokina 12-24 mm f/4
Sigma 10-20 mm f/4 - 5.6
Tamron 11-18 mm f/4.5 - 5.6

Its a Nikon review, sure, but there is a mention of the Canon EF-S 10-22 at the bottom of the page :
"I'd buy the Canon 10 - 22 mm lens in an instant if I had a Canon digital camera. The Canon 10 - 22 mm is better than any of these four lenses, including the Nikon."

Its got a 9 rating on fredmiranda.com also :

I guess the main reason for this 10-22mm is to give the cropped sensor slr's the 'old' 17mm equivalent. If you do upgrade to a full frame sensor then there is a good justification for getting the 5D + 17-40mm L kit

Its not immediate on my wish list, but if i could get a 10-22mm for a decent price then i'd jump at it

Its fantastic - get it. And if its <£350ish and you dont like it, you could always stick it on ebay and make a profit
