Photography Heads come in.. CANON 10-22mm lens

[tn123]

Hello I am getting this as a gift for someone.

They want the CANON 10-22MM LENS..

I know nothing about photography, now is this a good lens? And if so where is the best/cheapest place to get it? Preferably new..

Thank you

Don't mean to hijack your post.

But.......

I'm thinking of getting a Canon Rebel eos, wondering if I should go for the Sl1 which is smaller , or T3I which is on sale?

What kind of camera do they have?  That lens wont work on Full Frame Canon SLR's (5D, 6D, 1D) as I believe the rear element would hit the mirror.

Its a great lens. I own one that I bought from a fellow NTer (

) and I like it a lot.  Goes for $500ish used in good-great condition (no marks/scratches on glass)

I believe they have a Canon T4i

nyc game: buy used, its cheaper (as far as the t3i is concerned). if size is your concern, go with the SL1 (again, used if you can)

TN123: again, I'd buy it used. its probably not the best, but if thats what they want...

here's 3 lens that fit what they want (canon included):

(tokina, seems decent, around the same price as the canon though, and a little shorter in focal length, but its better at low light)

(the canon, decent in its area, considered the standard in that price range)

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=sigma+10-20mm&N=0&InitialSearch=yes&sts=ta&usedSearch=1
(sigma, little bit cheaper, decent, but reviews say tend its not as good as the canon)

also, dont simp

Then it will fit fine for the camera.

Again, great lens.  Just sucks you cant use it on Full Frame's (maybe with an adapter?)

The 10-22 won't work on a full frame. It is a good lens though. However, if they had a full frame, they might be more inclined to grab the 17-40 f4.

I'd check out B&H or Craigslist for people selling it used.

If he has a full frame and want the same exact lengh, then get the 16-35L. However, keep in mind that both lens are very limited ... Just depends on what you want to do really.

I rarely go below 30-35mm even for landscapes ....

Anything below that you start getting into distortion depending on how you are taking the picture.

With all that said, if you don't mind - it's a very nice lens for places that you don't have much room and landscape. Watch your feets/tripods when at low mm.

The Sigma is a bit hit and miss as far as sharpness. I got mixed results with it. I'm eyeing the 10-22 as well but it's a bit pricey. Great lens though.
