Canon EFS 10-22 Lens Tests

Good choice Dave. I'm sure you can live without the gap between the 10-22 and the 28-70! With your landscapes, cityscapes and nightscapes, the 10-22 would be the more ideal lens. "Tama na?" Even I don't believe myself when I say that!

Nice shots Dave. I guess with your shooting style, this EF-S lens is a good investment.

Hi Dave. Question lang. It looks like some of the corners are a bit dark. What caused it? Is it the lens?

Hope you can answer my questions. Thanks

don't forget agree that his 30d has a 1.6x multiplier. so in simple terms, the 17-40mm he was using roughly translates to a 27.2 - 64mm lens.

do you agree, agree? hehehe

Whoa.. Didn't think the response would be this good.

@agree

I'm into landscapes. That's why I've been going out of town a lot getting to know the Philippines in a different way again. 17mm is roughly around 28mm when translated using a 1.6x crop sensor. For a majority of users 28mm is acceptable.

As to L vs non-L (specifically EFS mount), there's no 'shift'. It just means this lens won't work on a 1D of Film body. Image quality seems ok, but I need to take it out more since I just got it.

@danieldy

I tried the 12-24 before. It's pretty good as well. As with most Sigma's do a thorough check before you hand over your cash as there has been incidents of quality problems.

@netskipper

That's vignetting. It happens when you have a round glass putting an image on a rectangular sensor. It depends on the photographer if he thinks it's a negative or a plus since iPhoto allows one to specifically put vignets on an image.

**ultratramp** · 06-15-2006, 11:37 AM

how much coin did you spend on the lens?

**Dave_D** · 06-15-2006, 12:02 PM

Avenue gave it at less than P35k.

**tjgato** · 06-15-2006, 04:41 PM

what's the difference on this one against the Sigma Lens?

**mr.wizard** · 06-16-2006, 10:08 PM

the 10-22 is for 1.6x EF-s compatible cameras only.
iv had both lenses. 10-22 is better IMO.
easier to use. faster more acurate focus. better low light performance.
also u can attach a filter faster and easier on it.
the 12-24 is practicaly useless with the filter adaptor coz of vignette even on 1.6x camera like the 20d.
