Canon 10-22mm wide angle lens

13 years 5 months ago #7117 by P51
I'm shopping around for a wide angle lens from Canon. I've not gotten into much landscape photography before and would like to know. So far I'm looking at the 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 Canon lens.

Please post your thoughts on this, OR if you have another wide angle Canon lens that you can recommend, please do.

Thanks so much,

Wayne

The Canon 10-22 is a fun lens and capable of excellent wide images. Another option is the Tokina 11-16.

I have owned both (currently just the Tokina) no complaints with either. The Tokina has a better build quality (imho) and is a constant f/2.8 aperture, whereas the Canon is f/3.5-4.5, as you know. Most times the f/2.8 is not a factor with a landscape lens because you are shooting at f/8, f/11, etc. But I like having the capabilities, especially at night or low light.

You will enjoy either lens ....

I have the 10-22 and am very pleased with it. It has very good glass married to mid-quality (by no means cheap) construction. On rare occasions I have wanted something faster but for outdoors or architectural it's great.

Thanks for the replies guys. Good information, I'm going to look up the Tokina, I'm guessing I might be able to save a buck or two. Which is always good!

I've also used the 10-22 and the Tokina 11-16 (both on Canon crop bodies).

Honestly, I found the 10-22 to be a bit.. so-so and I wonder why it gets such a great reputation.

The corners aren't very good (soft) and the distortion was a bit harsh.

The 11-16 is sharper in the corners and distorts less.
