I have like most people tried other brands of lenses to save money as Canon equipment is far from cheap but I have found with this lens as well as others it is a case of 'you get what you pay for' Comparing the image quality of other wide angle lenses to this lens using the same camera the Canon 10-22mm lens was to my eye far superior in every way, build quality is typical Canon, very good, and the lens feels like a quality item that will last.

I've got a Canon 7D camera and had a couple of lenses which I thought would be adequate. They are 17 - 85mm and 100 - 400mm. One of the subjects that I like to photograph, is steam engines and the 17 - 85mm lens doesn't quite get everything in to my satisfaction, so I had a look for an ultra-wide angle lens. This one, the 10 - 22mm is an absolute godsend. From the back of a platform, standing square on to the carriage, I can get everything in the picture. So that gives you some idea of the width range of the lens. Another thing about the ultra-wide lens is the depth of field that it gives you. I couldn't have asked for a better result and for so small amount of money. New from the shop it would have cost £990! From ebay, £505.90 + £95 duty.
If you own a crop-size Canon and are serious about photography - you really need to have this one! It opens up a whole new perspective to your photos. It is sharp and fast. OK. It is not cheap. It more expensive that alternative independents from Tamron, Sigma or Tokina. But considering that using this one in conjuction with Canon DPP software it will allow automatic correction of abberations (that all lenses in this range have), it should be the first choice. I love it. I had one before; sold it to finance purchase of EF-S 15-85 (anopther briliant general purpose) for my 7D; and re-purchased once recuperated finances. Look around, and you can pick up a mint second-hand in price of independents.
Another Canon masterpiece at the price. At 10mm distortion is quite acceptable ie edges are acceptably straight if you are careful in your composition. Hard to beat for large group photographs where space is restricted.

This is the third 10-22mm Canon lens I've purchased (two as gifts for daughters).Its a brilliant product with an excellent field of vision. Recommended.
