Description — Canon 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM
The Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM is a wide-angle zoom lens designed specifically for APS-C format Canon DSLRs. It covers a focal length range of 10mm to 22mm, making it well-suited for landscape, architectural, and environmental photography where a broad field of view is essential. Mounted via the Canon EF lens mount, it integrates directly with compatible Canon crop-sensor DSLR bodies.
The lens supports both autofocus and manual focus, giving photographers control over how they want to acquire focus in any given situation. With a 77mm filter thread, it's straightforward to attach popular filter types for creative or exposure control purposes. The lens weighs 385g, keeping the overall rig from feeling overly front-heavy.
One practical consideration is that image stabilization is not present, so users working handheld in dim environments will need to compensate with technique or shutter speed management. The variable maximum aperture reaching f/4.5 at the long end is worth keeping in mind when planning exposure. For Canon APS-C DSLR shooters seeking a wide-angle zoom, this lens offers a dedicated wide-end solution.
