With its effective focal length range of approximately 16-35mm in 35mm format, the EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM is a remarkable lens with outstanding image quality that will take your photography into new dimensions and areas of dramatic expression.The super-wide zoom not only gives you the freedom to get exactly what you want in the shot, it dramatically alters perspective to allow for dynamic expression. The lens allows you to get extremely close to subjects, exaggerating the difference in size between a near object and its background. Creative photographers can use this phenomenon to create excellent separation between subject and background for a strong sense of presence, or for a pan-focus effect with everything from foreground to background sharply in focus.Exceptionally light and compact for its focal length range, the EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM also has an incredibly close minimum focusing distance of just 24cm.A ring-type USM works in concert with the camera to provide super-fast, precision auto focusing and predictive tracking - with full manual override available at any time.Designed specifically for digital photography, the lens has specially shaped lens elements and Super Spectra coatings to suppress ghosting and flare, which can be caused by reflections off digital camera sensors. An exclusive optional lens hood can further reduce the incidence of flare.A circular aperture provides a pleasing background blur when shooting with a wide aperture; ideal for creating a sense of depth and getting your subject or model to stand out from the background.

 "This appears to be the USM version of the I or II kit lens." 2009-05-17
By Itsmeagain! (Nobamaburg)
The kit lens that came with a Canon EOS camera was not this USM lens, but this USM version could be purchased separately. The front lens surround will state USM in red; see the second customer image. Based on that customer image I would say this is series II (rather than series I), but it doesn't make much difference since optical quality is only so-so, and neither of them have IS (image stabilization). Build quality is on the cheap side. I am surprised to see this old lens still being sold, and at such a high price (I guess the letters USM demand a high premium). The kit lens versions have been replaced by the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens. There is no USM version of the newest kit lens, but it does have IS, is much better optically, has a little better build, and costs much less than 200 dollars!

This is the Kit Lens that came with the 30D purchased new from National Camera.

Pay attention to the title. If the lens is marked just as the title, then we are on the same page.

Don't get suckered into a kit lens.

It will end up on a deep shelf a month later.



Don't test lens performance in bright sun or showroom.

Go to typical dim area to see what you need to do without flash to get decent results.

Now put on real lens to compare.



I ended up with the Wide Angle EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Autofocus for about $1200.

This lens is built the same as the red banded L series quality, but made special for the non full frame digital cameras. Like most of them from 50D on down.



The kit lens listed in title is 1/10 the weight, and 1/4 the physical size.

I dont know what lens everyone else here got but look at the photo on this product page.. this is NOT a USM lens, it does not say USM anywhere on the lens which means it is NOT a USM lens, at least the one I have is not a USM.

 "Was good when first purchased... " 2008-04-21
By Sarah Mahaffye
I have this lens, because it came with my Rebel XT. It was the first SLR camera I ever owned, and good deal that it came with it's own lens. Well, when I first had it... it worked pretty good. My pictures were pretty sharp and good quality.



NOW, it looks like I take pictures with a child's toy digital camera. I use it on my 20D now, and it is HORRIBLE. My pictures are blurry and not sharp, you can see EVERY pixel. I mostly shoot models, and it's NOT cutting it anymore. I bout the 50mm lens, and the quality difference is incredible. I really would be baffled if anyone bought this to OWN. It's okay for a lens you get with a camera, but besides that, I think it's the worse lens out there for Canon cameras.

 "Basic Lens for Beginner" 2008-01-20
By C. Chan (CA)
I got this lens to go with my Canon EOS 6.3MP Digital Rebel Camera. This is a very basic lens not for professional photographers. The lens works great and has taken photos of images that I need most of the time. There are two things I don't like about this lens though 1) the Canon snap on cap doesn't stay on ALL the time. I have to make sure the cap is securely on and fiddle with it or else the cap falls off in the bag. 2) the lens exterior part is made of plastics so must take extra care when using it or it will get damaged easily. Otherwise, this is a decent lens for beginners to tote around.
