Great Lens [Posted on 2008-10-15]
I'm gonna make this short and simple.
This is a great lens ... though not an everyday lens. This lens is made to create art. Get it in their face ... push it up tight to long, vast lines ... try to create situations with this lens ... distort objects.

Great lens for what it is - a very wide angle lens for crop cameras. There aren't all that many options out there anyway, and if you own a Canon crop camera (XTi, XSi, 40D, 50D), then this is the lens to get.
Pretty amazing optical quality for a non-L lens. And the build is pretty decent, only a half-step below L quality in my books. It's actually the only non-L zoom lens I own, and that's only because it's just about the only decent option in this focal length range. This is optically much better than the Sigma offerings. The only other lens I would consider in this range is the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8, which is very hard to find.
You can make some pretty amazing, creative shots with this lens. Well worth the price. Only downsides are:
1) no hood included - get an excellent THIN (wide-angle) hood, worth the investment to get a good one
2) won't be compatible with full-frame cameras if you ever go that route. Though Canon's top dogs claim they will continue to make the EF-S sensor cameras for the forseeable future anyway
After you're got the "normal" range covered (buy either the Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 or the Canon 24-105mm f/4L first), this is probably the next lens to get. Your creative juices will really flow when you click this baby onto your camera and see what it can do....
Awesome non-full frame lens. [Posted on 2008-10-30]
I've had this lens for about a year now and it is one of my favorite's to shoot with. The pictures always surprise me when I get back home after a day out and about. Even with 3.5 as its lowest aperture you can get amazing low light shots without a flash, even hand held. Personally I bought this expecting distortion which is kinda what I wanted but the only times I've really noticed distortion is shooting straight up the side of a skyscraper at 10mm. Almost all distortion goes as soon as your start zooming.
It's also held up really well to my abuse. I've taken it out to the middle of the desert in early spring, a day at the beach where it was so cold my hands cramped up before my camera did and there was lots of swirling dust and being jostled by kids at the California Academy of Sciences. If this wasn't an EF-S I'm sure it'd have a good chance at being considered an L lens. It has definitely been worth the price for me. I'm just sad I won't be able to use it on the 5D Mark II when I get it.
great shots [Posted on 2008-11-12]
I purchased this and a sigma 10-20mm wide angle and decided to run a taste test. Let me start by saying I wanted to like the SIgma. It's cheaper and I even like the look and feel of it. But it doesn't compare. Pictures taken with the Canon on were sharper and more vivid across the board. Also less distortion with the Canon at 10mm and straight lines at 12mm. Only gripe is this is a cropped lens and I can't use it when I upgrade to a 5D. That said, it's a lot less than the canon full frame wide angle. But it is truly some fun glass to latch on to your camera for shooting potraits and scenes. Ended up returning the Sigma.
Love it! [Posted on 2008-11-16]
