Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM

[S-S]

Not a flashy pic (wasn't supposed to be) but an illustration of just how wide the 10-22 is.

(For the curious - this is the kitchen in a Titan missile silo)

question: this was on a 1.6 crop body yes?

[jacobsen1]

question: this was on a 1.6 crop body yes?

it shows 10mm so yes.

[S.E.V.]

it shows 10mm so yes.

A 10-22 on a 1.6 crop would be 16. But considering the fact that the canon 10-22 will not work a a full frame because it is an ef-s lens, unless modified to a EF, yes this is on a 1.6crop.

[71sbeetle]

well yeah but who said they used a 10-22 for that pic ? maybe they used a Sigma 10-20 ?

[S-S]

well there is also the 1.3 crop body to consider... which would obviously affect the FOV

Oh Snap! I love the over saturation

[S.E.V.]

HDR?

[ChucklesKY]

HDR?

Ditto.

[Tareq]

I don't think it is HDR

[S.E.V.]

If so how many different exposure shots did you take?

[Tareq]

Not always we have to take many shots to have one shot well exposed, i saw many nice shots where the sky is not so overexposure and the foreground is not underexposed and it is only 1 shot taken and no merging or so.

[mdrtoys]

It's not HDR - just a single shot, all the PP was done in lightroom. I was going for a "Painted Look" A friend of mine (and my wife) went to Rice University and he wanted a specific type of shot. The one he wanted had a lot of cobbelstone in it so I cropped off the bottom for my own uses.


I'm really happy with how the picture worked out....I'm having it printed on a canvas to give it an even more "painted" feel.


And thanks for the comments, it really means a lot - picture was taken with a 40D

Did you take the shot with the 5d or 40d? I thought the EF-s lenses don't work on the 5d I see the black edges that why i ask. On a 1.6 crop mine does not show and black edges.

[brianlance]

Did you take the shot with the 5d or 40d? I thought the EF-s lenses don't work on the 5d I see the black edges that why i ask. On a 1.6 crop mine does not show and black edges.

My guess is there was a filter on the lens (with the lens on a crop body).

[S-S]

My guess is there was a filter on the lens.

if that was a 5d with an ef-s lens attached (the sigma ones do fit) you would see a large thick black border all the way around and a little postage-stamp photo in the middle of it... i've seen one

full frame has a huge field of view compared to 1.6 and the ef-s lenses simply don't focus any light into that extra area, so it stays black

im gonna guess either filter or 3rd-party lens hood

[mdrtoys]

It had a Circular Polarizer on it to enhance a couple feature of the shot - the hood was a bonafide canon hood - that's why it has a vignetting....without the filter it would have had clean edges.

oh ok
i wondered about the filter cos my cpl isnt visible on its own, but if i stack it over the uv it gets in the way

I'm a little bit confused by this as I use a Hoya CPL and the EW-83E Lens Hood without any vignetting - :confused:

[mdrtoys]

It's not a great filter, very thick frame....I purchased it on my trip to Houston because my $160 that was fantastic was cracked during the flight.

[Mike55]

Hmmm..I have to say I've been to many of these mountain areas, and the 10-22 at 10mm does a great job of shrinking the mountains, making them far less dramatic and interesting. Doesn't look at all what it's like to be there. I think it works great for urban/car/beach stuff though.

Beauty of a shot, Pete-eos.

I was only commenting on the location - Pete-eos took the shot (unless you were referring all the way back to my amphitheatre shot!).

I think you've identified a problem that many people have with ultrawides - the desire to 'get it all in', which as you say can minimise the impact of elements within the shot. To get good effects, you have to learn the lens and use it with care. I agree that for general landscape use it is often TOO wide, but like any specialist lens, it has its place.

I agree with what you are saying. I'm usually more impressed with car, building or beach shots with that lens, but not really any other nature shots. A mountain should always feel like a mountain IMHO ;)

Ahh...I knew something like this would happen. I bought from Amazon at 639, and I also bought the Canon hood with it. With overnight shipping (need it for a photoshoot in 2 days) it came to ~690.

I've heard about Amazon doing a price match thing if it goes down in price with a similar vendor such as B&H. I might inquire about that.

Brett.. u serious Amazon will price match? cuz if so, I need to pricematch my 580EX II i bought from amazon.. paid 349.. but B&H has it for 329.

Please do let me know bud. That reminds me.. i need to buy the hood too~

I'm not totally sure...that's what I heard from a buddy that bought something recently.

And I just checked my order status...it didn't ship because something with my credit card messed up...so I won't be getting it until Thursday at the earliest, and that's if the card actually works this time. :rolleyes:

[EOS mE]

Thanks Brett, I emailed amazon and asked them to pricematch, but not sure if they will reply back at all. So, we'll see. If not, I'll give them a call and see what's up.

Update: Just tried to ask Amazon.com to credit me the difference, and was shot down by some girl that couldn't speak english all that well and just kept on giggling whenever she replied back with oh I'm sorry.. etc etc. :( bummer~

[tonylong]

I decided to bring up these images and do some quick pp -- the skylines were shot at quite a distance (haze) from a moving boat in a steady breeze, so working on contrast/sharpening/saturation values for the skyline helped a lot:)! On the third, I did no distortion correction because I figured it would be educational to realize that this lens does have plenty of distortion when wide. But it's sharp and delivers good overall IQ, in my opinion.

Oh, and the skyline shots are kind of boring. I'm just showing the scope of the lens from wide to narrow, on a beautiful summer day approaching Seattle -- the best of days!

That is correct, the Circular Polarizer is a must have on these kinda conditions as it really boosts the overall saturation and contrast in the colors.

wow.. that's great some great DOF and composition! i must also say this is by far the best 10-22 photo i've seen!

but you mentioned u used a cir. polarizer. i read somewhere that you had to turn the front filter to a certain point depending on what you are shooting to let in enough light, or am i missing something here? i have a CP on my G6 and when i shoot landscape, i can turn it all day long and the photos will still be the same. maybe i'm going coo-coo for coco puffs... :confused:

also,"silly question here", but do you use whitbal when you shoot your landscape?

btw, Toney.. you have an amazing PBase gallery, especially the one for the 10-22!!

[Tsmith]

thanks again on all accounts _ that particular shot i used no filters but do use a Cir PL in sunlit conditions quite often. Its really easy just rotating to the amount of polarization desired and too you don't won't to over darken those blue skies so backing off while looking to the viewfinder works to see the effect. A 90 degree angle to the sun is best.

Since I shot 100% in RAW the WB stays set to Auto most of the time. If needed a use a WhiBal card I have in the backpack.

and do you think a CPL is necessary for landscapes? I've heard that cpl's sometimes create weird gradients in the skies since it's so wide?

I wouldn't say a polariser is NECESSARY for landscapes, though they often can be useful. However, you're right that on very wideangle lenses they can be counterproductive if a large expanse of sky is included. This is because different parts of the sky are polarised to different degrees (reaching a maximum at points 90 degrees to the direction of the sun), and the polariser will show that by darkening the blue sky by an amount proportional to the degree of polarisation.

In practice what you can get is a blue sky with a dark band in it, when the original scene had a uniform blue sky. The only way around this is to not use the polariser - you can always dodge the sky in photoshop, or combine two images exposed separately for the foreground and the sky.

in my pics on the previous page I used a Quantaray Digital Professional filter which is the exact same as the Hoya Pro1 Digital, no vignetting :)

i have the HOYA filter mentioned, no vignetting and only minimal when stacked with the HOYA pro CPL (at widest angle)

The CPL is very handy to have for landscape work. Its the one filter to have in your bag but you indeed want a high quality multicoated type.

They can produce "weird gradients" but often times that can be taken care of by not using the filter at full polarization. I use my Hoya Digital Pro1 CPL quite a lot when outdoors.

np.. glad to see that even though you have a 1D.. you still enjoy your 30D. ;) maybe it's because of this 10-22 lense. haha ;)

I got 1DN then i went to Europe with my 350D & 30D and i left my 1DN at home, so scared to take it, later on when i went to Scotland i was little brave and had bringing 5D and 1DN.

ugh.. i want this lens so bad!

What do people suggest for a UV filter on this lens? Will my B+W MRC cause any vignetting?

[S-S]

hoya multicoated pro are slimline so they dont vignette... in fact i stacked their uv and cpl together and only got a slight vig at 10mm

yah, i'd be scared too to bring a 1DN out if i had own one. heck.. even with my 30D i'm scared to bring it out sometimes.. lol.

To be honest, i was scared alot to bring it out my 350D and 30D to Europe first time, i even scared to bring my Nikon coolpix 8800 to Lebanon alongside with my 350D with few lenses [4 lenses or 5 mostly Sigma]. lol

I got one more to add.

[John Dewey]

yeah not to mention the gear i had on my back I got so tired that I wasnt able to really focus on my main goal that day. To take Photos :confused:
228954 this was shot @ 22mm and thats my mode of transportation. Peugeot Px-10 :)

[EOS mE]

John, that's a nice looking Peugeot! you should get something like the TransIt Racks (http://www.performancebike.com/shop/sub_cat.cfm?subcategory_id=2312) and hook it to the back of your seatpost. this way you can carry your photo gears around while you ride.

what focal length did you use to do the pano?

[adam8080]

10mm. Nothing in the first fame was in the last frame. There was a road on the bridge on the left that curved around me slightly and ended up being on the other side of the sidewalk
on the right side just of view in this pano.

Thanks guys. I really wasn't expecting the shot to turn out to be anything spectacular. I just wanted to try a panoramic in Photoshop.

Hey Sean, if you ever want to borrow it, just let me know.

I knew it was you Danzig! I was watching The finale of the NUFC and a saw a segment on you training and there was one portion of that segment where they showed you at your pad and on the wall I saw a Framed photo of the cliff diver one you posted here on the 70-200mm f4 thread. But Dude at the time I could not place my finger on where i saw that picture it drove me nuts! till I remembered. Was thrilled you won that match Mac. Nice downtown Shots by the way .

Love that shot Mac!

This was one of the first days I had to experiment with this lens, and I think I got a few good ones. Need some more practice though. Try to disregard the sensor dust, and lousy weather if possible.

California4Life: stunning images!!! I was considering the 10-22 over the 17-55 (I just ordered the latter the other day) because of the ability to take images like yours. In the end, my need for speed (faster glass :lol:) got the better of me and I decided on the 17-55.

thats cool - but next time get closer
the most interesting shots from this lens make use of its ability to fit in the whole subject from very close range,and the distortion that produces

[Mediation]

Hey. This 10mm wide angle looks superb for landscape :) Im enjoying your pictures everyone. Must be a fun lens :p

[Dorman]

that's a rad shot Mac.

[mikegli]

Somethingsimple: I'll keep that in mind, next time I got out. I did a lot of shooting in NYC over the past few days, and was able to get some good ones, but I will definately need a lot more practice.
