Is there a better alternative than the Canon 10-22mm?

get the sigma 10-20mm. ive had it with my 50D and it was amazing. The canon is over rated.

You had no issues with the lens? Like sending it back to Sigma? I had to send my lenses in 3 times for my Sigma primes..wonder if it's the same for zooms?

+1 for tokina...used the canon 10-22 for two weeks on a trip to India and wasnt all that impressed with my results....Love my tokina 11-16 for its build, speed, focus and color rendition.

I would go for the 12-24 as it has a longer focal length, I'm not real fond of short zoom lenses. I know the f2.8 is godly but I probably won't need it.

So apparently I'm being bombarded by my photography buddies about how I'm losing 2mm for the ultra wide experience. I didn't think there be a BIG fat issue vs. the 10-22mm.

12mm is still pretty darn wide.

Lens: 12-24mm f/4

Exposure: Manual exposure, 1/250 sec, f/10, ISO 100

Just saying.

No no keep them coming, it helps me decide, I take pictures from cars to street to portraits. I do a wide range of photography just because my friends always have some special needs to be doing it for. LOL

The Tokina 12-24 is a great value. I rented the Canon, but ended up buying the Tokina. It has better build and for the sizes I print, the image quality is great.

I'd second this - if 12 mm is wide enough for you, the 12-24 is a really terrific lens. I bought mine used for $325. It's constant f4, solidly built and a lot of fun to use.
