Canon 10-22mm EF-S f3.5-4.5 USM review

Order came extremely quick and was fairly priced. It was also packaged very well. The lense works extremely and as advertized. Great lense.

Being a semi pro enthusiast I was using my kit lens for over two years. I thought my 18-55 and 55 -250 lenses will serve whole purpose of my photography. Over a period of time I started gaining interest in landscape photography and came to know my cup of tea. After knowing my dslr (canon t2i) and various lenses, I knew I was missing something. After researching and reviewing countless hours to find my need. I decided to buy 10-22 mm canon lens. (Thought of renting for trip to Lake Tahoe, but ~ $80 rent for 4 days was giving me good reason to buy a brand new.) This lens was on my camera body for entire trip to Lake Tahoe. It was fun having this lens. After using it I hardly found any vignetting or any distortion using at 10 mm. This was true even using with polarizer and ND filters. It made very little sound during adjusting focus point. I can clearly say this is very close to canon prime lenses. One major disadvantage is that this does not come with lens hood. I had to buy canon EW - 83E separately with this lens. Does this justify cost of buying this lens? Absolutely YES. Don't go with Sigma, Tamron or Tokina guys. Pay little extra and get this lens. By far the best ultra wide angle lens for crop sensor bodies in market, period. Nikon are you listening? [...]

Like everyone else I love what this lens can do for landscape and arty shots. The best lens ever made for a crop sensor.

WOW I had my T3I about 4 months with Kit lens and after reading every review and every lens description I finally ordered an additional lens (Cost almost as much as the camera)and picked the 10-22, I was amazed at what it did for indoor and outdoor shots, includes everything in the shot (Wide) that was impossible with my Iphone, kit lens, or Powershot that I had experienced before. I know nothing and I am brand new at this, once this lens rocked my world I thought: give me more, I ended up buying the 50 MM and the 55-250 all good for special purposes but nothing as amazing as the Wide Angle boost of the 10-22. I am just learning that a good filter adds a lot of value, they say forget the junk and the filter for this lens is $75 min (ouch), now I just have to learn to use these great tools.

Very handy zoom range. Just above a fisheye to long enough for some general shooting. I've found an unusual use for it: crawling around in passages under boulder fields in the desert. Even in places that border on claustrophobia I get interesting shots.
