Review: Sweet wide angle shots for a very affordable price - This lens rocks! I had not anticipated how much fun it would be, for both photo and video work. I have been in the market for a decent wide angle for my 70D for some time now... the tokina 11-16 f/2.8 is everyone's favorite for this, but $600ish dollars is just more than I'm willing to spend on a lens I (didn't) anticipate having mounted on my camera too terribly often. Canon's own ef-s 10-22 is similar as well, but also quite pricey, and i really don't need that little bit of extra zoom range it offers, as I already have a sigma 18-35 f1.8 which is much, much sharper anyway... So after reading a number of very positive reviews of this new 10-18, and especially after seeing it's awesomely low (for canon) price of $299, i thought i'd give it a try. Yes, it is rather slow aperture-wise, so it's not so great for low light stuff or anything, but it is so useful! I hadn't realized how much wider (and how often!) i wanted to get past 18mm until i had the option to, and all of the sudden my sigma 18-35 has started feeling cramped, and i find myself reaching for the 10-18 way more often than i would have thought. The super wide 10mm allows me to get shots that previously would have been impossible, especially in small, cramped rooms, and from a very cool perspective as well. For example the other day I was shooting a band recording in a small, cramped studio space, and i was able to get awesome full body shots from just like 2 or 3 feet away. This lens also has a much closer minimum focus distance than its competitors, enabling it to get super unique shots up a lot closer to your subjects than you could be with those other lenses. For video, the wider the lens the more stable everything looks and the less you notice little bumps or shakes in the camera, which is great for shooting handheld (plus that image stabilizer!) but it gets even more awesome with this lens up on my shoulder stabilizer. Moving shots at 10mm are basically indistinguishable from a glidecam or steadicam shot, especially with a little warp stabilizer added in post. Even going up and down stairs at a pretty fast, even pace, this thing glides effortlessly along at those wide angles, plus the STM focusing means it's fast and silent when autofocusing (70D) as well. The plastic mount does not bother me, everyone is obsessed with metal lens mounts but i have had a 50mm 1.8 for years and never had a single problem with it's supposedly crappy plastic mount and so i don't anticipate any problems with the 10-18 either. The whole "plasticy"ness in general that so many people complain about with cheaper lenses like these doesn't phase me, i only care about the glass itself, and the image quality it can achieve... which in this case is very respectable, no complaints at all. If you google head to head this verse the 10-22mm it's actually beating it in a lot of different areas, you should check out some reviews if you're on the ropes TL;DR Awesome price, awesome and unique wide angle shots, I'm very pleased with this lens
Review: Best rectilinear wide angle lens for ef-s. - Shot catalog images and architecture with this for many years. Won global contests with this lens and t6s camera. I have a full frame 5sdr but wide angle rectilinear lens for full frame was not obtainable. This lens was amazing esp for the price. Was able to get in close inside buildings and still get the whole subject. I even changed how our competition advertised trying to keep up with our brochures and shots. Won several world contests both 1st 2nd and 3rd place with this lens. No significant flaring (it's there but not bad at all) easy to use in low light thanks to image stabilizer (nearly unheard of in an ultra wide angle) and very easy to carry in the bag. For an ef-s I recommend this lens, the 18-135mm companion lens as a minimum. You have a huge range covered. Add in a 28mm f2.8, 50mm 1.8 and the 55-250mm and you have a budget set that covers almost everything, in a light weight small kit.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: This one or the efs 10-22?**
A: I have both and prefer the 10-18 for its IS and lower weight; the 10-22 sits unused since I got it.

**Q: Will this lens work on a Canon Rebel EOS t3i? 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Value for the Right User
*by R***P on March 2, 2015*

I am not a professional photographer, so I won't comment on some of the technical issues that probably do exist with this lens for those seeking professional quality. What I can say is, this lens produced fine images in the very first use I had - candids and large group shots at a banquet. I also took some architectural shots of the venue. 95% of the shots were with flash. Candid shots of lots of people in a small space can be challenging for a number of reasons, not least of which is being able to get back from your subjects without other bodies filling in the space. With this lens, that problem vanished. The lens handled all of the close work beautifully. Again, a professional may have found some issues at the edges or other places, but nothing stood out to me with moderate scrutiny. The architectural shots also came out great, and were something I could not have done without the extreme wide angle range of a lens like this. Note, the image scale distortion you get with any extreme wide angle lens is something to keep in mind if scale of your subjects matters. I had to take a shot of 15 or so people lined up side by side, not able to back away too much. The extreme wide angle lens does distort the apparent height of the people to the edges of the shot, making them appear much shorter than they are, and a bit wider. I would not recommend this lens for that type of shot, except as an only resort. It may be inexpensive and not an L lens, but for most photographers, it is a great addition to your lens collection.
