Canon EF S 10 22 mm f/3.5 4.5 USM Lens, Black, 9518A007AA

The Canon 10-22mm F/3.5-4.5 EF-S is a lightweight, ultra-wide zoom lens designed for EF-S mount EOS cameras, offering a unique perspective in photography. It’s known for its compact size, enhancing mobility for photographers. The lens provides a focal length equivalent to 16-35mm in a 35mm format, making it ideal for capturing expansive scenes with excellent image quality. This lens is particularly adept at altering perspective, giving photographers the ability to get up close to subjects and emphasize the size contrast between foreground and background elements. This feature is great for photographers looking to create a strong separation between the subject and the backdrop, achieving either a focused presence or a pan-focus effect where everything from the foreground to the background is in sharp focus.

Beyond human perspective

The lens’s construction is tailored for digital photography, with elements designed to reduce ghosting and flare, common issues in digital sensors. It comes with Super Spectra coatings to handle these challenges effectively. An optional lens hood is available to further minimize flare. The EF-S 10-22mm lens also boasts a rapid and precise autofocus, courtesy of its ring-type USM, which works in tandem with the camera. This autofocus system offers predictive tracking and allows for manual adjustment at any time.

A standout feature of this lens is its ability to blur the background attractively when shooting at wide apertures, which is perfect for creating depth and highlighting the subject against its environment. However, it’s important to note that this lens is not compatible with full-frame 35mm cameras.

Key highlights include:

• Ultra-wide angle zoom, ideal for EF-S mount bodies.
• Superior image quality in a compact, lightweight design.
• Close focusing distance of just 24cm.
• Fast and near-silent USM autofocus system.
• Advanced coatings and lens design for optimal digital photography.
