My 10-22mm lens just arrived yesterday (thank you, UPS, for offering to let me pick it up tonight instead of waiting until Monday). I had planned to wait a little while before buying a new lens, but I just couldn't resist. Unfortunately, the weather in Ithaca right now is rain with a 100% chance of more rain, so I can't take my new toy outside to give it a try.
I wanted to test just how wide "ultra wide angle" was, so I thought I'd test it with a picture of my other hobby. First, let us look at a picture taken with the widest lens I had before, my 24-105mm:

This was taken from about two feet behind the drumset at the lens's widest angle. Now, let us take a look with the 10-22mm at its widest:

This picture was taken from the exact same place as the first. When I looked through the viewfinder and saw the entire kit, my mouth dropped wide open.
This is going to be fun
