an excellent all purpose lens

Very clean
sharp images in all settings yet tested by
Feels quite solid and build quality is good
Remarkably well controlled distortion and chromatic aberration
Image quality is excellent and is reasonably priced
Excellent sharpness and resolution at all focal lengths and apertures
A very deep depth of field is a welcome feature itself
It feels reasonably solid and well made
the 10-22 controls flare very well
self-secure
fun-loving and smaller
Build quality of the 10-22 is very nice

IF design - the lens does NOT extend during zooming
quite prone to flare and ghosting in contra-light conditions
Sigma currently have two lenses in their line-up
falloff at maximum aperture decreases a
lens flare can be a little troublesome
design - the lens does NOT extend during zooming
objects may be larger than they appear in the car mirror
The lens is also not compatible with the EOS 10D
oncoming traffic
Telephoto Lens MISTAKES that Spoil Travel
cheesy-looking silver-tone zoom ring
the MTF results are not directly comparable across the different systems
Expensive

the lens
heavy

lack of homogeneity from the center to the edges
distortion effect on faces at the edges
diffraction effects start to degrade performance

non-L series lenses can feel a bit cheap
This is not an inexpensive lens
of Sigma is inconsistent quality control

chromatic aberration and distortion in practice
in-camera correction of vignetting seems limited
There is no searching in low light
the lens is supplied without a lens hood
Barrel distortion was visible at the 10mm setting
resolution deteriorated slightly when the smallest apertures were used
Filters are expensive for this lens size
distorts the image at 10mm focal length
Images are slightly soft in the extreme corners
focal length becomes more difficult
lack of strong barrel and pincushion distortion
strong barrel distortion and soft corners
none of the EF-S lenses are weather sealed

Canon’s EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM; An Ultra-Wide Zoom Digital APS-C Format Lens

The Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM (16-35mm equivalent in 35mm parlance) was designed to cover the APS-C format, specifically the EOS 20D and both EOS Digital Rebels (plus future APS-C models). Canon's EF-S lenses (S = Short Back Focus) are physically matched to these cameras. This design also results in a smaller and lighter lens (3.5" long and less than 14 oz). There is even a built-in mechanism to stop you from mounting it to an incompatible EOS camera, such as the 1D or 1Ds, and a rubber O-ring to prevent scratching that camera body in the process.

A first-rate wide-angle zoom for DSLRs with 'APS-C' sized imagers.The 'EF-S' designation is Canon's way of labelling lenses with Short Back Focus, which indicates the distance between the sensor plane and the rear element of the lens is shorter than in an EF lens. Such lenses are designed exclusively for EOS cameras with 'APS-C-sized' sensors and cannot be used on Canon's 35mm SLR cameras - or on the EOS 5D. The new EF-S 10-22mm ultra-wide-angle zoom lens covers fields of view equivalent to 16-35mm in 135mm format. An excellent partner to the EOS 400D we used for our tests, its wide angle of view is great for landscape and architectural photography, especially indoor shots.
