Review Summary
The Canon 10-22mm is the best wideangle zoom available for Canon APS-C digital SLRs. If the price seems a bit steep the Sigma 10-20, Tamron 11-18mm, and Tokina 12-24 are worthwhile alternatives.

Though build quality and features are nice, for 800 bucks you want really good image quality and fortunately, the 10-22 delivers. The lens yields very good sharpness throughout its focal range though it softens up a bit at extreme apertures, as one would expect.

In practice the Canon EF-S 10-22mm performs very well, especially considering its extreme coverage. In terms of resolution it matched or out-performed the EF-S 17-85mm and EF-S 18-55mm lenses, and was only just beaten by the premium EF-S 17-55mm model. Corner sharpness was also good with softness only visible when zoomed-out with larger apertures.

The Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM delivered a very sound performance with a combination of very decent build quality and very good if not impressive optical results. If anything vignetting at wide-open aperture could be better. The center performance is excellent throughout the range with generally good borders.

As a new lens designed from the ground upwards for cropped digital sensors, our expectations were fairly high and we were not disappointed.

This is a great lens. It's so great it makes me want to swap over to Canon from Nikon, because it's better than my favorite Nikon 12 - 24 mm lens.

I must say that I am very impressed by the lack of barrel and pincushion distortion in the Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM Lens. It is not perfect, but very good for this extreme wide angle focal length range.

The Canon EF-S 10-22/3.5-4.5 is a very good lens. There is a little corner softness wide open at 10mm, but overall the image quality is excellent.

This lens is capable of producing some very fine results in terms of prints. I wouldn't hesitate to use the Canon 10-22mm for any professional application.
