  • EASILY my new favorite lens
Product Packaging: Bulk Packaging
I've been transitioning all my equipment to full frame (from my 60D to my 5D). So I used and loved my 10-22mm lens the few years I had it. Certainly the cost is extremely higher on the full frame bodies and lenses, but man this lens is incredible. The focal length is almost 100% identical to the 10-22mm (focal length measurements adjusted for crop body, 10-22 = 16-35 on a full frame sensor), so if you've ever used that lens you know what to expect focal-range-wise. Unlike the 10-22mm which does not fit a full frame body, you *can* use this lens on any body, whether cropped or full-frame, but it is *definitely* not worth the price if you are just going to be using it on a cropped sensor camera (60D, 70D, T4i, T5i, etc), because you lose the extreme wide end which is what is so awesome about the lens. I've used the lens quite a bit for real estate photography for great wide shots of rooms that can get *all four walls* in the frame at its widest. Really any architecture or landscape shot will look incredibly awesome at 16mm due to the very interesting perspective achieved at ultra-wide. You'll want to dial back the aperture though since at 2.8 you won't get tack sharp focus at very much of the image. But if you have a particular subject you want to focus on rather than the entire scene, 2.8 is great as it allows for better shots in low light or better bokeh, depending on what you're going for (the 10-22mm's max aperture on the other hand is only 3.5-4.5). If you look at 100% crops near the corners of shots taken at either focal extreme, it's not perfect, but it can get pretty close to perfect when you get the lighting and depth of field just right. I am honestly very happy with the copy I got as far as overall sharpness goes. The majority of its use is in video, paired with my Glidecam, and those two pieces of equipment make an epic pair. In 1080p video the entire shot looks nearly perfect with minimal work, so the fact that 22 megapixel photos don't look perfect in every spot in every situation doesn't matter too much for me as I purchased it with a much higher priority on video quality. And videos with this lens are amazing. The included lens hood and pouch are just icing on the cake. The Canon-branded hood I bought for my 10-22mm was the most expensive hood I ever purchased, so I appreciate that the L-series lenses come with them bundled in. Autofocus is very quick and 100% accurate on my copy, another noticeable improvement from my old 10-22mm. There is no IS but at 16mm you would rarely need IS, so I am okay with that omission, especially considering how much extra weight and cost IS would add to the lens. The date code on mine showed it was manufactured in 2013 (purchased in Feb 2014), which is good because I always worry about dropping a ton of cash and somehow ending up with a really old copy. Mine is flawless and I am enthusiastically looking forward to many years of use on this lens. ... show more

This is one of three lenses you should have. The others are the 24-70 and the 70-200. I do have other lenses such as for macro and the hefty walkaround 28-300 but these three are the ones most frequently used for events and of course it's the second photography thing in the bag when going outdoors. Distortion is easily fixed with Lightroom Distortion Correction or Lens Correction since version 3. If you're going to spend this kind of money on a lens you should at least get Lightroom. If you've never used Lightroom and you take lots of pictures, you will thank me if you buy it on my say so. But you don't have to because almost everyone else that can afford it and knows about it uses it. If you want to get the best precision fix for distortion then get DxO Optics Pro. Get the Elite version if you have or even ever plan to move up to a full frame camera. You can download and use FULL functionality for 30 days before deciding to buy it. It can do everything that Lightroom does but I still find myself going to Lightroom after fixing distortion and generating a TIF file from DxO. Crazy, I know. If you don't like the occasional blue streak in the sky created with polarizers, don't bother buying a polarizer for this lens because YOU WILL get that streak because it covers so much sky. That said, I went ahead and bought one anyway since I lost a lot of very expensive filters on our last trip to Pismo. I can use a 82 to 77mm step down ring and I'll never have to worry about vignetting with my other lenses. Sometimes that blue streak does look pretty cool. On the other hand quality 82mm filters are a lot more expensive. According to some respected reviewers, this is the best ultrawide zoom for Canon at this time. I like it a lot too but I can't compare since this is the only full frame ultrawide zoom that I own. According to some, there is also a big difference between being able to go 17mm to 16mm. It is hard to understand how to use it at first. You do have to get up close and personal with your subject. You do have to pay attention to what's in the frame and you really want to make sure that the main subject of the picture is not lost in the vast space created by the lens. But like almost for all problems associated with being a photographer, the solution is to go out there and shoot, shoot, shoot. ... show more
