Description
With its effective focal length range of approximately 16-35mm in 35mm format, the EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM is a remarkable lens with outstanding image quality that will take your photography into new dimensions and areas of dramatic expression.The super-wide zoom not only gives you the freedom to get exactly what you want in the shot, it dramatically alters perspective to allow for dynamic expression. The lens allows you to get extremely close to subjects, exaggerating the difference in size between a near object and its background. Creative photographers can use this phenomenon to create excellent separation between subject and background for a strong sense of presence, or for a pan-focus effect with everything from foreground to background sharply in focus.Exceptionally light and compact for its focal length range, the EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM also has an incredibly close minimum focusing distance of just 24cm.A ring-type USM works in concert with the camera to provide super-fast, precision auto focusing and predictive tracking - with full manual override available at any time.Designed specifically for digital photography, the lens has specially shaped lens elements and Super Spectra coatings to suppress ghosting and flare, which can be caused by reflections off digital camera sensors. An exclusive optional lens hood can further reduce the incidence of flare.A circular aperture provides a pleasing background blur when shooting with a wide aperture; ideal for creating a sense of depth and getting your subject or model to stand out from the background.

Rated 2 out of 5�by WAC Decent lens but poor mechanically
I bought this lens about 11 years ago and have taken 4000-5000 photos with it. However within this time I had to repair the auto focus drive once and the lens has now failed again (camera shows error 99) and I am assuming it is a drive motor problem again. My other lens still functions fine with my 30D camera. Rather than plow more money into this lens, I will buy a new lens (maybe a Sigma to get away from Canon mechanical problems

Rated 4 out of 5�by Eric379 Great walking around lens for crop-sensor bodies
I've owned this lens for 10 years, having purchased it shortly after buying my 20D back in 2005. The lens has always performed perfectly for me - never a hiccup of any sort. To be fair, the lens does not produce "L-series" quality, but then, it's not an "L-series" lens. It's reasonably sharp edge to edge, with about a stop of vignetting at the corners, particularly open wide. Focus is accurate and fast, zoom is smooth, and it covers the 35mm equivalent angle-of-view ranges of about 28-135mm, which makes it a very versatile piece of glass indeed! It suffers a bit from ghosting flare which is manageable with the optional petal hood (EW-73B) and a tad bit of distortion at the wide angle end. By far my worst gripe is the chromatic aberration (purple and green fringing). It's quite noticeable in high-contrast edges such as tree branches against a bright sky. However, that and the other issues are easily corrected in applications such as Adobe Lightroom. If you're not post-processing your images, you're probably not going to notice these issues in the first place.
After 10 years and many thousands of images the lens continues to perform well. I have since upgraded my crop-sensor body to a 60D, where the lens is still my go-to, always-mounted, everyday carry optic. I'd love another stop or two of light, but the IS helps with that, and the higher ISO capabilities of the 60D as compared to my old 20D take care of my occasional need for higher shutter speeds in dim lighting.
If you're looking for a workhorse of a lens at a budget-friendly price point, this one is definitely worth consideration.

Rated 5 out of 5�by Bushido Excellent for teh Price
his lens is clearly an attempt by Canon to replicate the success of their earlier 28-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS USM, which gained a strong reputation as an excellent performer on 35mm film; and they did it.

Rated 4 out of 5 good kit lens
There seems to be a lot of quality control issues with this lens. The main problen i have with this lens is "zoom creep". Its also hard to focus manually.
Other than that, the lens is good. I traded the kit lens that came with the camera for this lens, and i'm glad i did.
Going by the reviews, it seems like there are a lot of lemons that get by quality control, so its a hit or miss with this lens.
I would look elsewhere if i needed a reliable lens.
