Canon 9518a002

Pros: Super wide angle. Pretty resistant to flare. Sharp. Takes standard thickness UV filter.

Cons: Costs more than it ought. Needs thin circular polarizer. No hood included. Chromatic aberration.

The Bottom Line: Great for landscapes, dramatic perspectives. If you need it immediately, it's worth the high price. If not, wait for price drop.

Review: Parting with $750 always hurts. But with this lens, the pain was much less than I expected. I took a trip to Death Valley just after buying this lens, and got a huge number of stunning landscapes, closeups, panoramas, etc. Although owners of ...

Pros: Great distortion control, solid build quality, very sharp.

Cons: A bit expensive for some, but well worth the cost of admission for the flexibility.

The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this lens for the Canon shooter that uses a cropped frame DSLR. It will restore the true wide angle shot to your toolbox.

Review: What can I say about this lens? it was actually one of the reasons that I chose to go with the Canon line for my venture into DSLR photography. Previously, I had used a point and shoot camera and had always wanted to be able to get the perspective from ...

Pros: Lightweight, fast focus, super sharp, no barrel distortion

Cons: Plastic filter threads...that's all I can think of.

The Bottom Line: I recommend this lens to anyone who considers him/herself more than just an amateur. There are less pricey similar lenses available but this one is excellent.

Review: After switching from film to digital, I realized just how much the 1.6x crop factor of the new camera limited my wide-end abilities. I wanted that extra "wow" factor back, and this lens definitely delivers. Weight: The first time I took it out ...

Pros: Sharp wide open
Excellent flare, CA, & distortion control
USM fast AF

Cons: Cost
No lens hood provided

The Bottom Line: Excellent lens for crop-sensor Canon users. As of writing, nothing comes close.

Review: by David Tong The Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM lens is purely for Canon's crop sensor camera line (as of writing) starting from the EOS 20D/300D to the current EOS 50D/450D. It will not mount on the EOS 1D series (1.3x crop), neither will it ...

Pros: sharpness, contrast, focus, contra-light performance, build

Cons: sometimes highly distorted people, but no other serious con

The Bottom Line: Fantastic, now I almost ignore the standard 18-50 mm range.

Review: Right from the purchase it has become my top lens - I carried it on my travels to Rome and Amsterdam and having the ultra-wide focal length paid off. Most of the photos in the following galleries was made with this lens: ...

Pros: solid, pro feel, worth full price, instant results and wow factor.

Cons: high cost for consumers and non pro. no lens hood included.
