Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM (User Review)

A PopPhoto.com reader from Los Angeles, CA reviews Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM lens:

As a landscape shooter, this lens is almost perfect, producing sharp and clear images with easy and fast handling. Good weight and size. I don't think f2.8 is needed; I never need to shoot landscapes wide open (and a constant f2.8 would almost triple the price of this lens). This lens is great for shooting panoramas without the need for stitching multiple images. I have printed eye-popping 10" x 40" panoramas by simply cropping to the center of the image. I don't see any need to increase the range of this lens beyond 22mm. This is a wonderfully designed ultra-wide-angle zoom lens.

What's Hot: Very sharp images, rapid autofocusing, virtually no distortion even at 10mm.

What's Not: A lens this wide should come with a lens hood.

Largest Digital Print Rule: To calculate in inches the largest photo-quality print you can make with a digital camera, divide the vertical and horizontal pixel counts (see your manual) by 200. For critical applications, or if you want exhibition-quality prints, divide the pixel counts by 250.
