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

[Mike Bell]

Here are a couple of my first shots with an EF-S 10-22 lens on a 350D. I like this lens but there is distortion at the widest end - 10mm which is where it was set for both of these. The second has been cropped top and bottom. C&C welcome.

I have been thinking about getting this lens. I need a good wide lens for landscapes.

[Tsmith]

Me too but I'm not gonna say it again as everyone probably is getting tired of it. Waiting on rebate checks to proceed with purchase ... hopefully.

Nice wide results by the way.

Only doing landscapes with it is a waste of a great lens...stick it on the camera and don't take it off for a few days, loads of fun this one is.

I hate the AF of my L's after using this lens, blinding fast the little guy is.

[rklepper]

I am also having a blast with this lens. Great fun.

That's Perth isn't it Mike? (I've driven through it, but never got round to stopping and having a wander).

I'm curious with EF-S (apart from the kit lens) owners - are you not concerned about buying a lens that ties you to the APS-C sensor? What made you decide to get an EF-S lens rather than a standard EF lens that will work with your next body?

I agree - if you can get close its great for birds!!:

Yes it is Perth - my home town for the last 11 years. Definitely worth a longer visit next time - bring your camera!:)

I have wanted to move back to SLR cameras ever since moving to digital about 8 years ago but the cost put me off until this year. I set myself a budget limit and chose a package of body + lenses. After reading lots of reviews, and deciding what kind of photography I like, the 350D and the EF-S lenses just emerged on top. I suspect that when I retire in several years time I will buy a whole new package. I have no doubt that technology will have moved on and that I will want the latest of everything including lenses. The lenses may not become optically much better but I fully expect the AF and IS technology will be better. I have no fears about the 350D (and its lenses) not finding a home - there are lots of family members ready to snap up my cast-offs!:lol:

[Mike Bell]

Is that robin stuffed?:lol:
Or ........did you hypnotize / flash freeze / anaesthetise it?:lol:
Or ..........are you two just very good friends?:lol:

You must be inches from it, racketman. Well done!

[Ray.Petri]

Re the Robin

Ho! Ho! Ho! I'm sure the things stuffed! It's legs look at a bit of a funny position. (No offence - definition is excellent) I have been thinking of this lens to keep in the bag. More weight for my wife to carry for me!

All the best

[ScottE]

I agree - if you can get close its great for birds!!:

http://www.richmondparkbugs.com/Robin.jpg
Too bad it is not wide enough to get the feet in.

;-)

[Andrew Khan]

Will this lens work with a Canon EOS 350D (Digital Rebel XT)?

[red hot sheep]

Yes Andrew, it will also work with the 300D and 20D.

[jojohohanon]

You could just use a remote release and mirror lock-up.

[hemuni]

You could just use a remote release and mirror lock-up.

...and hope the birds don't use your camera for a toilet :)

nice shots mike - I think I have to have this lense...

[Lester Wareham]

It is a great lens, a major reason for me to go digital with a crop camera. Couldn't live without ultra wide.

[nwoods]

I agree - if you can get close its great for birds!!:



Wow, to those who do not have this lens, you really can't appreciate just how close he got to this bird. I would venture to say about 12" away.

I love my 10-22!

[Mike Bell]

According to my calculations even at 22mm (full zoom in) the field of view is 12.3x8.2 inches at a distance of 12inches so (unless it is a crop) he was even closer!!!! (Must be a crop!).

C'mon Racketman - spill the beans! The robin and you did a deal, right? What was in it for him? Bet it was chickenfeed! LOL!

[polvoronn]

let's see it!! I need that extra peer pressure to finally drop the cash on a sharp copy

Wow, those pictures are out of this world! You guys/gals make me so happy to have gotten this lens last week. The weather has been yucky since then though. So haven't had time to get a decent shot yet.

[blacksmurf]

Mat you better stop posting pics b/c you're gonna make me buy that lens and break my wallet.
I'll write exactly the same thing. Matt, feel guilty. I don't know if the night, while you are sleeping, you'll dream of us in a camera store where whe give away ALL our money, included the last little coin... [SIGH]
:p
I was trying to stop myself thinking to THAT lens, now I think that it's failed!!!

p.s.

Hi,

The 10-22MM EF-S is great fun with kids...watch the on board flash below 17MM however...it leaves a shadow.

Enjoy,

[I Simonius]

Here are a couple of my first shots with an EF-S 10-22 lens on a 350D. I like this lens but there is distortion at the widest end - 10mm which is where it was set for both of these. The second has been cropped top and bottom. C&C welcome.

1/250sec, f9, 10mm, ISO 100

Like the first one but would love to see 100% crop too.......................:p

[Mat Fitzsimmons]

Mat you better stop posting pics b/c you're gonna make me buy that lens and break my wallet.Hehe, thanks.

The 10-22 is probably my favourite lens at the moment. It's just so much fun :)
It deserves an L somewhere in its designation IMO.

[Gaylord H]

Here's a good one at 10mm f10 1/320 sec iso 100 from my front yard at 7 in morning.

Your wish is my command, sir! :D
100% crop of central area.

You can't expect to retain a lot of detail at 10mm.

[PommyB]

Very nice pic. Lack of distortion is notable as this lens will normally distort a lot.

I've discovered that "transform" in photoshop (elements) can fix the distort prob.

[sasa007]

here is a bit of distortion

[picturecrazy]

I LOVE my 10-22. It is so crazy sharp it cuts my eyes when I look at the pics... lol
Here's a couple I've taken with it.

This lens impresses me so much more than my recent trip into L territory. Does everything well in my book. And I LOVE the distortion. It gives the photos a unique look.

[JuZ]

I've been considering an ultra wide lens for a while and this one seems to fit the bill, can you put my mind at rest about its sharpness by sharing some of your shots :D

Thanks in advance.

Outstanding quality pictures. I'm really happy with this lens.

[thomascanty]

You guys just had to do it, didn't you? You forced me to head to Canoga Camera this morning as soon as I got off work and pick one up!

Actually, It's been on my wish list for quite a while now, and my tax refund almost completely covered the price. I could have ordered it online and saved a few bucks, but I'm leaving on a trip in a couple days and really wanted it for that. I'm sure I'll have a picture or two to add to the thread when I get back home.

I said it before and ill say it again.. I love my 10-22

How severely did you have to crop your picture? Mine is uncropped.

By the way, I love this lens! It's already a favorite of mine, just as clear and sharp as any of my L's. Definitely one of my best recent purchases!

Hi,

I took the 10-22MM EF-S out for some spring flowers snaps this afternoon. Here is a sample: 1/200, f/11, 21MM, ISO=400.

I continue to use this lens as my "walk around" nothing else captures the magic of the outdoors like it :)

Enjoy,

Karl.

I hear you there. I sold my Tammy 180 f3.5 macro for 500 bucks so I could get the 10-22 ... You have to do what You have to do u know.

Ha.. Yeah - I should have enough money to put food back on the table by the end of the week :lol:

nice shot jedwards _ its hard to get yourself out of those 10mm images. Here's one wide open on the 22mm end. A lot of people claim these lens aren't sharp wide open and are only good for landscape work ... :rolleyes:

Damn, Blue, that flower is awesome. I hadn't thought of using it for that purpose.

Thanks a lot _ that was taken about 12" away laying almost on my back using a Hoya Circular Polarizer. This is one versatile lens for sure.

Wow, I love that shot.

Yes my one is sharp in the centre and not too bad on the edge wide open - the very corners don't seem to sharpen up until about f11 but for most shots that is not important.

That is an awesmoe shot :cool:

I'm in highschool and I'm taking Photo 3, we have to do a portfolio one 'topic' and I'm doing cars. I really want to pick up a 20D and 10-22mm lens for shooting now, you can get some really cool wide-angle car shots which is evident in this shot. I'm digging the purple walls in the background, cool backdrop.

Or you could use it as a portrait lens.

wow....i really like the movement of water there. whats your exif data?

[scotty7]

fantastic photos everyone. I would have purchased the lens sooner but Uncle Sam took away my funds. I was thinking about the Sigma version but not after viewing this thread.

[pup]

i am now considering this lens.

awesome pics.

Hi,

I spent last weekend in Chicago with my daughter's family...more grandkids time :)

Here is a picture of Napierville, IL where they line. Napierville is a town anyone would be proud to line in :lol:

Enjoy,

1/200 F11 / ISO 100 @ 17mm - Shot in RAW. Tweeked exposure to make 2 seperate images and did some digital blending

Hey Karl, that is one fantastic image. Hopefully the folks at Canon can speed up the process and get the wider dynamic range cameras out to us soon. Tripod use is mandatory in this situation right?

Thanks, I'm glad you like it - No tripod, I just leaned up against a wall and hoped for the best. I'm quite new to photography but my photoshop skills help me out :lol:

If had a graduated neutral density filter I suppose this would have been the best option. The sky was very bright and washed out. Being that the shot was taken in Raw format I was able to get the detail back from the bright sky and compose 2 images - one to expose the foreground and the other for the sky and washed out areas.

Cheers.

[Tsmith]

Karl _ is does look nice > greens are a little too green for my liking < this is why I bought the GND filters. Good job.

[Karl666]

Thanks - Yeah i'll have to get some I suppose. Yet more expense and something else to carry around with me ;)

Cheers.

Karl _ no meaning to get off topic hear but was the the exposure difference between the two shots?

[Karl666]

I think I bought the sky down by almost 2 stops. I used Raw shooter for the adjustments.

Thanks I was just curios is all _ my thinking is the 2 step ND grad would have worked about right for that shot.

OK - No worries

[InfamousDX]

Just got this the other day but wow... this thing is WIDE! I'm very happy with the 10-22. Can't wait till I grab some time to shoot some interesting shots....

[yonni]

Off topic but...

Karl and Blue: If the two image composite technique can expand the dynamic range of a photo is there an advantage to using the NDG filters? Thanks.

Hmm.... Not having used any NDG filters I wouldn’t know. I'm assuming from other posts that it’s best to get it right in the camera rather than play around in Photoshop. I feel that there is probably more control to be had using image manipulation because you can tweak it almost exactly how your minds eye would see it. If you know you are going to be taking pictures in extreme contrasting conditions then just switch to raw (if your not using it already) and take a quick snap. You can then move the exposures and a few other settings to create a few images to merge. I must say that I was surprised at how much information is still available in apparently blown highlights

Cheers. ;)

[yonni]

Thanks Karl. Hopefully Blue or others who have used the ND Grads will check in.

[Mike Bell]

I've used ND grads and they usually allow you to balance the exposures of the sky and land without resorting to exposure blending later. Interestingly the commonest one people use is the 0.6 which cuts the light by about 2 stops.

On the other hand - it seems to me that if you use RAW then the only parts of a pic that you simply cannot salvage are the parts so overblown they are white or so underexposed they are black.

Horses for courses. I'm trying to perfect both techniques. :)

[Tsmith]

Thanks Karl. Hopefully Blue or others who have used the ND Grads will check in.

Using the 0.6 NDG + shooting in RAW really seems to give you a wider dynamic range to me. One you can keep the sky detail captured by the NDG then bring out any foreground shadows simply by adjusting curves and levels.

I'm no post processing expert so this is the method that I've managed to get excellent results using verses the blending of multiple images.

[Lester Wareham]

I tend to find I can expose for the forground and still recover detail from the sky in the RAW conversion. So you can do two RAW conversions and you can then mat these in the PS as if they were two exposures bracketed.

[david lee]

I am tempted by this lens and although I have the 20d I wonder how it looks when used on a full frame body.
Will this lens work with the 5d for example?

No it is a crop only EF-S lens. The equivalent would be the 17-40 on a 5D.

The 10-22 is the only lens I would still recommend someone to get if they expect to upgrade at some point to full frame.

You mount the camera to the car with a rig of your choice, and then you push the car with the engine off in a parking lot or similar and the long exposure simulates the fast moving effect.

[x2x3x4x5x]

I believe he accually drove it. Just very slowly.

[jdmoto]

yes i was driving the car during the picture. wireless Remote Shutter ftw!!! :) this is what you call rig shots
