If you're shooting architecture, you need f/8 or f/11 for large depth of field, except for the widest of focal lengths.


Almost any lens can operate at f/8 or f/11. In low light, you'll need a combination of long shutter time and/or super-high ISO, so a GOOD tripod is most likely your best bet.


I've tried to shoot bowling with my 16-35/2.8 at f/4 or f/5.6 and focused to the hyperfocal distance (shortest distance that has DOF to infinity), and was never satisfied with the results.


I've enjoyed shooting with the 10-22, but found that the rectilinear correction can lead to perspective distortion REALLY quickly. You'll want to ensure that you're shooting level with the horizon, parallel to the apparent ground (perpendicular to building faces, etc.), or really understand how to frame your picture in a workable manner.
