EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM
This exciting zoom lens provides ultra wide-angle coverage to the EOS 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D and Digital Rebel SLRs. Equivalent to a 16-35mm zoom, it offers excellent performance and optics designed from the ground-up for digital SLR use. Three Aspherical lens elements, plus a Super-UD element, assure image quality. Its ring-type USM means fast and silent AF along with full-time manual focus. It focuses as close as 9.5 inches.

Great Wide Zoom
Date: February 24, 2010
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Super-sharp images, equal to a 16mm on a full frame
I have owned this lens for a couple of years. I just love the fact that this lens wide open is 10mm (equiv of a 16mm on full frame). The images with this lens are sharp. It is in my experience the best EFS lens. If the lens has a con at all it is the fact that it only zooms to 22mm not 24mm, but this is a minor issue at best.

Incredible Lens !
Date: January 26, 2010
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Superior build quality, Super-sharp images, perfect focal length
Cons: none
I can't say enough about this lens. The pictures are as sharp as a knife. With this lens you will have a great time with your friends and family shooting all those memories. Pull in the entire room of people without them having to gather together for a shot. Great for candid shots indoors. Take pictures of your pets indoors jumping around. This lens is easily a keeper ! I just wish it was an EF lens and not an EF-S lens so I won't have to get rid of it in the future when full frame cameras come down in price. In the meantime I know this lens will see lots and lots of use. If you like to shoot scenery and need to get it all into the frame then this is the lens for you. With the crop factor it shoots 16-35mm which is plenty wide for nearly anything you can think of. I love this lens ! Oh and did I say it's built like a tank? Well it is.

Best in class, no regrets
Date: December 14, 2009
I have owned this lens for several years now. It has been lovingly abused regularly during that time, as shooting interiors for the real estate industry accounts for a significant portion of my field time. I have also had the opportunity to shoot with the various contender lenses over time, and I simply love this 10-22 Canon lens. It takes a beating without denting, cracking, or developing worn areas in it's finish.
It's optical performance was eye opening on my first 30D, and it still delivers fantastic images on my current 40D, and 50D bodies. Even in the Everglades on a bright summer day, and from all compass points, the lens delivers very pleasing sharpness, contrast, and detail. It also delivers very low levels of distortion for an ultra wide zoom at any price point, and even that is easily tweaked in post processing.
My lens has untold miles of use (it is number two of the two most often used lenses for me out of the studio), yet it still cleans up to look as new, it still performs optical magic as it did on day one, and it still has the sound, smooth, mechanical feel it had when new.
I absolutely love this lens.

GREAT true wide angle lens for CANON *0D series
Date: December 6, 2009
Pros: Fast auto-focus, Super-sharp images
All-around great lens for those digital photogs using either the *0D series or (digital) REBEL series bodies. It offers very good resolution, etc. It almost merits a "red ring" on the lens barrel!

Great lens! Merrits a little red ring...
Date: October 23, 2009
Pros: Super-sharp images, Superior build quality, Fast auto-focus, reliable, versitile
Cons: price
Although the lens doesn't offer the faster f/2.8 that you can get with 'off brand' lenses, the Canon quality is unbeatable. The glass seems superior, yielding sharp images at all f stops that I shoot at (3.5-11) and also delivers some eye popping bokeh around f/3.5. In over all quality it beats the pants off of most of the other wide angle lenses. I lug this lens around as almost a standard on my 40D (other than my 35mm f/2 it's never seen off that body).
One problem that may come up for the potential buyer is the amount of distortion along the edges of the frame at 10mm, but at that length anyone should know that you're flirting pretty close to fish-eye. And if it really bothers you... you still don't need 10mm to grab a really beautiful wide angle capture with this lens.
The only true down side to this lens is that it's EF-S, but since the 7D was recently unveiled... I won't have to worry about having to trade it in for the actual L series glass (not saying that it isn't of near-L series quality...because it is).
Get this lens, it's worth every penny.

"L" Lens performance for APS-c
Date: September 23, 2009
Pros: Super-sharp images, Superior build quality, Fast auto-focus
No, it doesn't have an f-2.8 aperture, or metal lens barrel. So what? The lens is lightweight, compact, sharp, very comfortable to operate, with smooth turning zoom and focus rings. It balances very well on my 40D camera body, and only draws undo attention when I have the accessary lens hood attached. Most importantly, this 10-22 wide angle zoom delivers image quality every bit as good as what can be attained with it's full frame 16-35, and 17-40 L series cousins. Add to that the very useful 77mm front filter diameter that allows me to mount my pro sized filters and polarizers, and well, I don't see a down side. Love it!

Awesome Super-wide
Date: August 6, 2009
Pros: Super-sharp images, Fast auto-focus
This lens is just fantastic. The USM focuses instantly, even in an almost dark room. Colors come out amazingly vibrant and super sharp. It has a very nice minimum focusing distance and very smooth bokeh when do you get really close to a subject (just be aware of the heavy distortion on the wide end). Build quality is good for a EF-S lens and it is internal focusing. The only thing I wish this lens had was a little bit larger aperture. Very happy with my purchase and I think this is a good tool on any crop camera today.

Not Sharp
Date: July 2, 2009
Cons: Semi-sharp images, Poor build quality, not sharp
This is one of the worst L lens in Canon's line. It is not sharp at all. I have been shooting Canon for 10 years now and this lens just doesn't cut it.

Excellent purchase
Date: May 6, 2009
Pros: Super-sharp images, Superior build quality, Fast auto-focus
I bought this lens for a trip to Hawaii. I used it on a sailing trip to the Napali coast. It performed magnificently. I couldn't be happier.

Ist Class Ultra Wide Angle Zoom
Date: February 24, 2009
Pros: Super-sharp images, Fast auto-focus
Cons: no lens hood
I must second all of the comments made by Digital Seeker.
Many of the most spectacular images I have ever taken have been with this lens. No need to stitch 3 or 4 images
to create a panoramic scene; just crop a single image made at 10mm. Images are sharp and well defined.

My only minor reservation is that the lens should have come with a lens hood in the box, not as an extra (and much needed) accessory.

SUPERB SUPER-WIDE LENS
Date: January 25, 2009
Pros: Super-sharp images, Superior build quality, Fast auto-focus
I buy only L lenses for my Canon cameras -- whether digital or film. There is one exception. I bought this 10-22mm for use with my EOS 40D. This lens, in my experience (a serious photographer for more than 50 years) is the equivalent to an L lens in every respect. It is a "must have" for anyone shooting an APS-C sensor digital body and desiring absolutely superb wide-angle performance.

great wide angle lens
Date: December 13, 2008
Pros: Super-sharp images, Fast auto-focus, "l" series glass
As far as I can tell this is "L" series lens without the price. The glass is great, haven't been disapointed with any shots made with lens. Thanks Canon

Great Ultra Wide
Date: November 20, 2008
Pros: Fast auto-focus, best wide range
Nothing comes close to this lens for your crop sensor Canon. Very well put together, very good IQ, and a fairly small and light package. I use mine for landscapes and travel and it works great.
