Silver! Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Google is your friend: Canon 10-22mmI've thought about buying one for a while now, but they are expensive for a toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 You never told me it was a 10-22mm you were looking at... In that case I'd wait for the exhaust and blow some money on a new lens!!I've used one and they're great fun and take some brilliant photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 ...and don't write of Tamron and Sigma. They get good reviews for less bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoopEd Posted February 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I've also read reviews of poor quality for the tamrons and sigmas.....i asked here as i've read professional reviews. But wanted like minded people to comment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I've got a sigma 10mm but bought it late last year and not had much chance to use it, I'd say if you can afford the canon then great, but people I know with the sigma 10-20mm swear by it. Depends how often you're gonna use it really. A lot of money for summat that only comes out at a couple of shows a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Have you checked out some of the Flickr groups? Usually get good reviews and feedback.This one seems to have the most life about it: http://www.flickr.com/groups/efs1022/discuss/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoopEd Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Those flickr groups are a good read, lots or useful info!Will pop into a few shops on Sat to see if i can take a look at both the Sigma and the Canon.....i've always been in the camp that if you can afford the better one, buy it.

chris260 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I've got the 10-22 Canon and it's hardly ever off my camera! It depends what you're going to use it for but it's a really useful lens for car shows or anywhere where space is tight.I use it a lot for shooting clients houses because it doesn't give too much distortion in the photo even at 10mm. It does lose a bit of sharpness when wide open though but still good at say 12mm. I'd highly recommend it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoopEd Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I decided against it in the end, went for the 17-40mm f/4: USM as it was wide enough for my needs and if i eventually go full frame i don't have to get rid of the lens...was about the same price too.

JoeA Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yeah played around with a mates problem is canon don't do an efs 50mm (i think) and if they do itl be mega bucks. The EF 50mm can be had for £80 BN on ebay but then you have the whole full frame scenario, i.e. it'll be more like 80mm (again i think). So don't know what to do...

LoopEd Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 On your camera the 50mm would be 80mm.....but on a full frame it would be 50mm....the value on the lens is equivalent to 35mm film cameras which are the same as full frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yeah cheers, i know all that I'm just thinking, is 80mm too much zoom for me. Bearing in mind i usually shoot at 18mm or fisheye lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillhound Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) I was in the same situation last year, was saving up for a 10-22mm but as a student don't have a regular income. Ended up goin for the sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 due to money.I'm sure the canon is a little better, but the sigma is very good for the money and would highly recommend. The f/4-5.6 model is even cheaper, I could easily live without the wider aperture as i use the lens for landscapes, couple of my mates use f/4-5.6 and also rate it very highly.have a quick look at my flickr if you want a look at some sample images: http://www.flickr.co...otos/jamesgill/nearly all of the photo's taken with this lens!
