Canon - EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM Ultra-Wide Zoom Lens - Black

I bought this lens primarily for vacation and I also took along a nice f2.8 24-70 but I hardly ended up using it because of the wide angle worked great for me scenic shots. Did not really know how things were going to turn out until I got back and looked at them on the big screen but for the most part there was very little noticeable distortion when in the maximum wide-angle setting. Definitely a nice lens for the bag specially when wanting to get scenery shots or complete buildings or other items when in a city environment.

My first wide angle lens worked well for my purposes as a beginner photographer

It worked just like I expected it too but better. I used it at a work party in a limo and it worked great for getting the whole inside limo in the shot! My favorite shots to use this lens with are vehicles and cities. I am still exploring uses for it!

I have a canon T6i camera and spent weeks reading online reviews from different sites and finally decided on the Canon 10-22mm wide angle lens, I needed a lens to shoot large group shots and this lens produced beautiful crisp pictures, however at 10mm you do get a very slight fish eye appearance so you would need to adjust your distance from the subject to prevent .

The only negatives I have about this lens is the price and some slight distortion. It's a little expensive, but I guess that's the price you pay for some amazing shots. The image quality is stunning. It's great for larger than life pictures (in the city surrounded by skyscrapers) and situations where the space is limited (a group shot in a small room of your house). Performs well in low light simply because there's hardly any motion blur from the wide angle. There is some slight distortion when you zoom all the way out to 10. Overall, great lens.

Super sharp lens and superwide even at 20mm. Perfect for croped frame cameras. I've used it on the 7D and the results are just great. I do prefer the F2.8 lenses but since this is the only one wide from Canon i will not complain. Besides, just 1 FStop difference is not really an issue. It is also very light weight. Great for landscapes and interior shots. Also if you are a filmmaker, this is great for shooting indoors and getting most out of your scene and location. It doesnt come with the lens hood, but still i give it a 5. I really really loved it. It is a bit pricy yes, but it's worth it. A must have for any DSLR user.

APS-C cameras give you great telephoto length but sometimes make width of composition difficult. If you have a large family group in a small room setting this lens might be your answer. Probably why it is also popular for real estate and architectural photography. I plan on using it also for travel landscape shots as well. Some shots at the 10mm range may show some peripheral illumination issues as well as distortions however most of Canon's newer camera can correct for this or you can use Canon's DPP software on raw images for correction. One point to consider is that if you are planning on using your cameras on board flash on the wide end of this lens you will observe a lens shadow for indoor photography. The easy workaround is to use an external flash such as Canon's 430 mounted to your cameras shoe and the shadow will be gone. I have been pleased so far with the sharpness of my images. Hope this helps your decision.

I purchased this lens to take photos of interior rooms. It is fully meeting my needs for photos that show more of a room than does a standard lens. Disclaimer: I am not a professional photographer, but am a new photography hobbyist and do use the photos to advertise rentals.
