It's not a EF 11-24mm f/4L USM... but it's (new) 1/4 the price. It got mine used for a less than half the new price. It takes great shots, acknowledging that the corners are stretched and it's not totally tack sharp. Or my hand is slightly shaky. Stopping down to only 3.5mm, you'll need to get to macro lengths to see any bokeh. Photos attached.

Bought this lens based on its many very high and glowing reviews - and am very glad I did! Good solid construction, fast focus, and excellent glass for the money. I bought it to use with my Canon T3i and together I've been able to get clear, beautiful wide angle shots in both automatic and manual shooting modes. I couldn't be happier with this lens!

Nice, compact design. Used with R7 with the EF-EOF R adapter. Capable wide angle lens. Typical distortion at very short focal length, but less than a fish-eye lens. Reasonable bright. The USM motor is quiet and responsive. I purchase the lens as used EX+ and have been very satisfied with value and performance. Based on serial number, this is an older model lens.

As you may know, EF-S lens only works with Canon 20D, Digital Rebel, Digital Rebel XT right now and possibly future cameras with EF-S lens support. Because this is specifically designed for 1.6X crop sensor, you won't be able to use this lens on 1.3x or full frame sensor cameras. Now, having said that, this is probably the best wide zoom lens available for Canon 20D and other 1.6x crop sensor camera. 10-22mm lens becomes 16-35mm when placed on 20D giving you the true wide angle photography. The lens has some distortions on the edges, but they are all normal for any wide angle lens. USM motor is fast and quite in autofocus. Little expensive, but worth it if you need wide angle shots. Little soft on the images though and thus gets 4/5 rating.
I'm a technical type, with a photographic background using film. My spouse wanted to get into digital photography, so I got drafted into this new territory. My spouse's favorite word is "medium", so that was our goal: to buy a digital SLR camera and accessories, which wouldn't limit our creativity, while not draining our savings. Initially, we bought a small sensor (APS-C) camera with a standard (medium) zoom and telephoto (longer) zoom lenses, all OEM. The medium zoom lower focal lengths dipped down into the wide angle range, but it wasn't wide enough to get entire large objects in short distances. So I went Online to gather specifications, options, and reviews. There are the people who backpack, so weight is a factor. There are the people that are most concerned with price, so third party lenses are a consideration. There are the people that want to use a lens, for both APS-C and full frame 35mm applications. Then, there are the people who want more focal lengths built into the same zoom lens. To me, the latter is most important. I want a lens to do more; to pick up where my other lenses left off, but it has to do it with quality! I did not care if the lens could be used, for both APS-C and full frame 35mm applications. Being "medium", my spouse wanted it all, except being able to use the same lens, for both APS-C and full frame 35mm applications. According to my research of ultra-wide zoom lenses, which would fit our camera, the Canon EF-S 10-22MM F/3.5-4.5 USM Lens seemed to meet most of what we wanted. After using the lens, for a while, we found that if there is any problem, it is with us and our inexperience. Because it is an ultra-wide and if a lens protecting UV filter is used, the filter should be thin or some vignetting may occur. A lens hood should be used, especially outdoors to limit reflections and other stray light, from entering the lens. The built-in camera flash coverage is not wide enough. Flash fall-off appears around the edges, and a shadow of the lens appears at the bottom of the photo. This can be overcome by zooming out and later cropping out the flash fall-off and shadow, or buying a separate automatic flash, made for ultra-wide lenses. Overall, the lens has been great; a joy to use, a wonder to learn, and has not disappointed us yet!Read full review
