Just Got My EF-S 10-22 Lens. It's Sharp!

I just got my 10-22 from a local photography shop this weekend. I haven't tried using it outside but I took shots of our dogs, and it's razor sharp! I was a bit skeptical on getting one of these EF-S since I got a 24-70L two years ago (and my, it's also sharp). I guess this wasn't a bad idea to grab a superwide angle lens. I got the lens together with a Kenko Pro1D 77mm thin protect filter and Hoya Pro1 77mm thin C. Polarizer (they ran out of Hoya UV filter so it's the next best one out there). I did notice some vignetting with using the c polarizer on top of protect filter but I guess they didn't thought about stacking filters on a UWA lens. Now to use it more this coming holiday season :D

I used my 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 this weekend, and it performed beautifully. It was an indispensable tool in a very confined space.

Lovely photo, Sean. I really like the 10-22mm as well.

Ralph,


Funny you open this post because I had ordered one about 3 days ago and I just got it delivered, no joke about 15 minutes ago.


And like many of you, I could not wait to try it....Office window...

Those were nice shots everyone! Here's one I took of our dog yesterday:

Set my 50D to Tv mode, 1/125 , 580EX II flash on (with diffuser plate on top, straight flash).





I'll try to use it this weekend on a local fireworks display here in our place. Glad I got my tripod for that.
