Canon EF-S 10-22 mm f/3.5-4.5 USM

11. Summary

Pos:

great image sharpness in the center of the frame,
very well corrected astigmatism,
very well controlled distortion (as far as straight line breaking is concerned)
solid functioning and quiet autofocus,
sturdy build,

Cons:

large vignetting in the whole focal length range and even after stopping down the lens.
chromatic aberration specially visible for 10 mm focal length
slightly too large coma

The Canon EF-S 10-22 mm is a specific lens targeted for wide angle lovers and for those not wanting the fish-eye class of lens distortion. APS-C detector digital camera owners had to wait long for the opportunity of photographing at a wide angle of 100deg or more. Thanks to the Canon 10-22 mm this became a possibility and, it seems, was worth waiting since the picture quality is very high. If we add Canon's famous good quality build and USM motor we are looking at a lens worth taking into consideration.
