My 10-22mm is lonely

Well I dropped my 10-22 off at Canon Irvine... She's is spending the next 5-10 business days alone ;(

Shooting a wedding on Sat, I zoomed out to 10m and heard a CRUNCH.. thought in the back of my mind that it was VERY strange, but turned the ring a few more times and it seemed ok. Then the fun part.... I went to "un-mount" the lens from the body and it would not release!!! After turning and wiggling it i finally got it off, and it seemed that the plastic part on the base of the lens and been pushed out of the lens body,

I tried to gently push the plastic back but it would not go in. The only thing i could do was completely remove it. That is when a small plastic part fell out (I am pretty sure it was a tab that locks the cover in place). I finally got the cover back on and it seemed ok, but I did not shoot it anymore, in fear that the element might had been knocked out of alignment.

So yesterday I dropped it off, hoping it will be taken care of

take it easy with that zoom ring man
Sorry to hear that, hope you get it back ok

Sorry to hear of your loss I'm sure it'll be fine and well cared for!

That really sucks. My 10-22 should be here in a week or two and I just hope that mine doesn't do the same.

Weird, I was just reading the 10-22mm reviews on the FM forum and the build quality was mentioned in more than a few.

I agree with many of the FM posters: for $790+, you'd think Canon would make a more solid lens.

I guess the silver lining is that you're close to the Canon service center and don't have factor in 2-3 days shipping the lens and the same coming back.

YIKES!!!! I have no choice but to wait for the "L" EF-S version then.

It is a little plastic-y. I guess they are charging for the glass. I do really like the lens.

Damn that sucks. I would be interested to know the outcome and if mor epoeple are experiencing the ame problem.

My 10-22 went in for warranty service yesterday too - but not because it fell apart.

I have had it for 3 months now and love the opportunities opened up by the ultra-width of 10mm, but it has been consistently under-exposing images. I mainly use AV mode, but I would have to go into M and add 50% to the exposure to get a histogram that didn't cling to the left side.

The clincher was when I did a series of tripod shots at different apertures to compare the 10-22 with the 17-55 kit lens (at the same focal lengths of 17-22mm of course). I had to add 50% to the exposure on the 10-22 to get the same histograms as on the kit lens.

Anyway kawter2 you're lucky you're only looking at 1-2 weeks to get your baby back. They told me to prepare for 3+ weeks before I see mine again.

Update!!!

WOW Canon surpassed my expectations on this one.. I dropped the lens of Monday afternoon, and I just got a call this morning saying that it was ready

three cheers for canon!!!

Wow, less than a week. Damn that's impressive. I'm sure you missed it very much, lol.

Wow! and just in time for the long Memorial Day weekend!
The lens has probably had a longer stays--unused--in your camera bag.
