Professional Review:
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.

   Summary: Expensive, but high quality. Minor sharpness issues in corners.
I'm a fairly serious amateur photographer, and have had mostly Canon equipment for 18 years or so. This lens has very good color balance, perhaps very slightly on the cool side. The lack of distortion for a lens this wide is pretty amazing. Things in the corners tend to distort the most, but even so, distortion is surprisingly low even at the 10mm end. Sharpness is mixed... At the 10mm end, the center of the photo tends to be very sharp (sharper than any of my other lenses in fact) and is reasonably sharp to the edges, but the corners are noticeably blurry even at F-stops in the middle of the range (which is where lenses are often at their best.) This may be a trait of ultra-wides, as I've seen it in other wide angle lenses. That issue goes away as the lens is zoomed away from the widest end.

Zooming and focus speed is Canon's usual impeccable quality.

I extensively investigated the Sigma 10-20mm as a cheaper alternative to this one, and was turned off by two things: the noticeably warm color tint and the quality control issues that Sigma seems to be having (my local camera store stopped carrying Sigma awhile back for this reason - too many returns.)

   Summary: The debate EF-S or stick with EF only.
I debated over purchasing this lens for the fact that it is an EF-S lens, and I hope to buy into full from sensors in the future. I finally decided to purchase this lens for the simple fact that it will be 3 or more years before I get a full frame DSLR, and I have suffered without a wide lens for far too long! I am so glad I made the purchase, it is very sharp and for all I can see, distortion free as well. It may seem pricey, but I think its fair for what you are getting, and keeping in mind the price of high quality standard EF lenses, this may be actually a bargain.

   Summary: Nice Item
About the only thing I would warn people about is that at the extreme wide angle setting, the lens casts a noticeable shadow when using the built-in flash.

   Summary: Great lens!
Just as I expected. Outstanding Canon quality as always. Amazon service is always terrific!

   Summary: Nice wideangle
It is really very nice lens. I bought it to use as main "landscape lens", and I'm very satisfied: combination of extremely wide angle (+ zoom to select proper focal distance), huge depth of focus (small apertures), very good resolution and sharpness - do you need something else? I use it w/ and w/out circular polarizer, in both cases I had nice results.
