When the 10-18mm was introduced at less than half the price, I was curious and when lens tests showed it to be of comparable image quality, my interest was piqued. Yes, the 10-18mm has a smaller aperture, but the addition of image stabilization, which the 10-22 does not have, should be more than enough compensation. The reduced zoom range may result in somewhat more frequent lens changes, but for $350 savings, I can live with that. The metal lens mount of the 10-22 is surely stronger and more rugged, but the 10-18 is so lightweight and compact that I suspect the plastic mount is more than adequate, particularly for amateur use. The one area of optical performance where tests show the 10-18 to be at a disadvantage is light falloff (vignetting) at corners and edges at large apertures. I reasoned that in practice, I will use the lens mostly outdoors at an aperture of f8 or more where the performance of the two lenses is reported as similar. On initial examination, the lens feels of higher quality than Canon's "kit" lenses, as befits its higher price. Specifically, the zoom and focus adjustments are much smoother and there is no looseness in the front element, as there is in the EF-S 18-55, for example. The lens is considerably smaller and lighter weight than the 10-22 and is close in size and weight to the 18-55, albeit with a larger diameter front element. I find that my small sling bag (Case Logic SLRC-205) easily accommodates the addition of the EF-S 10-18 with the hoods mounted on all three lenses (reversed on the EF-S 55-250). The EF-S 10-18 ships with a nice center pinch lens cap which affords easy removal and replacement with the hood in place. My first opportunity to use the lens was probably a worst case scenario: indoors without flash and wide open at ISO 1600. The results were predictable from the optical tests: strong vigneting at shorter focal lengths and when the "peripheral illumination correction" is applied in DPP, detail at corners and edges is marred by noise. This is not too severe a problem if your exposures are spot on, but it leaves little room for correction. There is modest barrel distortion at the wide end that is easily corrected in DPP. Speaking of DPP, I was pleased to find that lens data for the 10-18mm is now available on the Canon site, since it was not before I ordered the lens, so be sure to update DPP to the current version and then update the lens data in the DLO module. DPP's DLO does an admirable job of correcting CA and sharpness issues and, along with DPP's other lens tools, virtually banishes all lens shortcomings. For me, DPP's lens corrections are reason enough to buy Canon lenses. Now, having used the lens for about 16 months, I've found that it easily meets my original expectations. The vignetting is its only real shortcoming but is quite manageable and correctable in most situations. Maximum aperture is not an issue since I am usually shooting at f8-f11 to maximize depth of field while avoiding diffraction softness (a function of the APS format, not the lens.) "Focus by wire" is somewhat less easy to use than a mechanical link, but its more of a change in paradigm than a handicap. The lack of zoom range overlap with my "kit" lens is occasionally inconvenient, but not $350 worth. When using a polarizer (Hoya HRT), the corners of the image will be clipped at focal lengths less than about 12mm, but this is eliminated when distortion correction is applied in DPP, even at 10mm. A polarizer is of limited value at short focal lengths anyway due to the wide variation in sky luminance. As noted above, it is quite sharp when DPP's DLO corrections are applied. Its small size and light weight assure that I have it with me, in fact, I probably carry it mounted more than any other lens. In summary, I'm pleased with the EFS-10-18mm lens and thrilled with the savings in cost and bulk as compared to the 10-22mm, not to mention the benefit of IS. I highly recommend this lens! Review: Il est assez impressionnant de proposer à un tel prix un ultra grand angle de marque. + Hyper léger + Très compact + Autofocus excellent que ce soit en photo ou en vidéo, un bon autofocus devient très important quand on se colle à moins d'un mètre du sujet et que l'on doit conserver des sujets nets à quelques mètres ce qui est le cas si l'on veut remplir le cadre en dessous de 14mm + IS très utile en intérieur pour compenser la faible ouverture + Qualité d'image très correcte vu les focales et le range + Un complément idéal aux 18-55 et 55-250 qui sont elles aussi de bonnes optiques qui doivent participer au succès commercial. + Pas de réel concurrent que ce soit chez Canon ou ailleurs + Jusqu'à 14mm on a des angles de champ larges classiques, en dessous plus on s'approche des 10mm on vire vers le psychédélique avec des perspectives dilatées à l'extrême - Ouvertures faibles, mais le /4 /5,6 est de rigueur dans cette gamme de prix - Les qualités optiques ne sont pas sans défauts, mais ses concurrents non plus, quant aux focales fixes et zooms pro. les prix deviennent stratosphériques - Sous les 14mm composer une bonne image devient sportif Bref une bonne optique à un prix étonnant pour découvrir les joies et les peines du super grand angle. ## Features - EF S ultra wide zoom lens.

Thank you.** A: This is an older question but I feel this info is important so I am posting an answer anyway...Yes, your camera can use all EF and EF-S lenses. Keep in mind that this is what is known as an Ultra-Wide angle lens (UWA). If you are not familiar with this type of lens, I suggest that you do some reading on the best ways to use one. Here are some general tips just in case…1. Distortion effect – UWA have a special way of bending light from a large element down to the sensor, which results in barrel distortion. The easiest way to describe this is that is has a funhouse mirror effect. Near objects will appear very large, far object will seem to shrink. If you understand how this works, you can use it to creative effect. Some of the negative reviews for the 10-18mm and the 10-22mm are from people that clearly did not understand this.2. Specific purpose – UWA lenses are made with a specific purpose in mind. They excel at taking in broad landscapes, buildings, large machinery, etc. They are not good at portraits or general photography. They are meant to compliment other lenses, not serve as a main lens (unless that stuff is all you shoot, which is not common). 3. Get up close – probably the worst thing you can do with a UWA is not get close enough to what you are shooting. I prefer to place something in the foreground whenever I can, something to take advantages of that barrel distortion, to give a sense of depth in the shot. If you don’t do this, then you end up with a picture where everything looks too small and really far away. It takes some practice to get good at composing with a UWA. For more info, I have a review of this lens that not only discusses its strengths and weaknesses; it also gives some reasons why it is almost always the best choice for a wide lens on APS-C cameras like yours. This includes a comparison to the 10-22mm that is also popular, but is also more than twice the price. You can find the review in my profile, if you are interested. The gist of it is that this is a really good lens for the money, and a lot fun to use if you understand its purpose. Have fun! **Q: what is the equivalent in 35mm?** A: This lens has a comparable focal length of 16 - 28.8mm in a 35mm equivalent. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact our sales department at 800-991-3350 EST. We thank you for your time and consideration! **Q: Is this a plastic housing and lens? Or is it metal / glass?** A: The lens elements are glass, and pretty good glass at that. The housing and even the mount are made from plastic. The mount is polycarbonate, a nearly indestructible plastic. The lens is so light I doubt it will ever make any difference; to break it you would have to do something that would also break your camera. If you would like to see a comparison between these two lenses, I have a review for the lens on my profile. It gives the pros and cons, offers advice for how to use the lens best, and also does the breakdown with the 10-22mm.
