Having owned and used my Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-f/4.5 USM zoom lens for around 15 to 18 months I feel that it is in many ways, quite an exceptional lens. Effectively covering the versatile full-frame equivalent 16-35mm zoom lens, it is a valuable addition to anyone's kit.
Being an EF-S lens (the 'S' standing for 'Short' back-focus), it is designed for use ONLY with cameras having APS-C size sensors. Don't attempt to fit one to a full-frame DSLR or 35mm SLR camera. Such lenses have reduced image circles and produce vignetting on full-frame or 35mm cameras. Furthermore, the rear lens element could get hit by the reflex mirror, causing serious damage.
With a maximum aperture of f/3.5 at the widest end and f/4.5 at the more moderate end of the zoom range, the lens is not 'fast' by any stretch of the imagination. However ...
Advantages: Excellent quality pictures, Useful wide angle range. Good build quality. Disadvantages: No lens hood, Not compatible with all EOS cameras
Introduction
The Canon EF-S 10-22mm f3.5-f4.5 USM lens is a high quality wide-angle zoom lens that is ideal for landscape, architectural and interior photography.
It is designed to be used with all Canon EOS cameras with an APS-C sized censor and an EF-S lens mount, it cannot be used with Canon full frame or film cameras, also some older EOS models will not accept this lens either.
To see if your camera is compatible with this lens, check your camera for the following.
All Canon EOS cameras have a red spot on the lens mount to denote the lens alignment for EF mount lenses, check to see if your camera has an additional white spot to denote the lens alignment for EF-S mount lenses, if it does, then this lens will fit.
Focal length
This lens has an actual focal length of 10-22mm, but because of the x1.6 crop ...
Nikon 16-85mm lens is the digital answer to Nikon's highly popular 24-120mm lens in the film era. This lens has a great range, pretty accurate focussing and reasonable to excellent sharpness throughout its aperture range. My experience is based entirely on field tests since I don't believe in test charts.
At 3.5, the lens is reasonably sharp wide open but sharpness suffers a bit as you zoom to 85mm ( at 3.5, that is). If you stop down to 5.6 and beyond, I find it excellent at all focal lengths. Colors are excellent and chromatic aberration is reasonably well controlled. The lens is pretty sharp even if you crop 50%( based on my experience with my 10MP D200).
The thing I love most about this lens is the bokeh it renders at 85mm at 5.6. Of course, it cannot be compared with the bokeh of my old Pentax 135mm prime, but then it was ...
