Pros: Light, crisp, distortions and flares almost absent, precise ring usm focus (you can switch directly to manual without ruining anything), price

Cons: A little plastic (compared to L series), bulky and necessary lampshal - of course - needs ultra slim filters and the highest quality (the normal polarizer at 10mm vignette)

Opinion: The only EF-S lens I held that still makes me hold an APS-C body. For a superior lens on FF you should take the 16-35 f/2.8L II USM. I have tried to make them wide-angle, but this one remains, among the cheap ones, the best ever. It has no stabilizer, but on an equivalent of 16mm I would say it is practically useless. Let's immediately dispel a myth, it is not in the least comparable to the EF-S 10-18, including STM; I am not just referring to sharpness, probably if you take landscape or action photography and are in optimal light conditions you may notice very little difference, but you just have to switch to architectural photography and maybe with critical bright conditions that 10-22 wins without a shadow of a doubt. The 10-22 needs very few lens optimizations in post-production which on a wide angle that collects many details and objects within a frame means little loss of quality. Above 20 megapixels it shows some sharpness limits at 10mm at the corners, especially on high contrast areas (trees on the sky), but all decidedly acceptable. The distortion in interior photography is barely perceptible. It's the only lens I recommend on APS-C, otherwise I switched to L ff lenses only.

Pros: lightness, small size, sharpness, flare resistance, robust construction, 77 filters

Cons: lack of sharpness at 10mm edges, not stabilized (although for a wide it's not a big flaw)

Opinion: Wide-angle zoom lens with EF-S focal. That is, only suitable for APS-C sensors. Therefore, it cannot be used on FF. The autofocus is ultrasonic (USM) as the most emblazoned lenses in the L-series and ensures manual focus without detaching the AF. It has the distance window like all other USM. It's not stabilized. The opening of the 6-bladed diaphragm ranges from f 3.5 to f 4.5. The weight is in line with the non-exceptional size (385 g.). The filters can safely be mounted on this lens and must have a diameter of 77. It comes without a lampshade, to be bought separately, as in the best Canon tradition for "economic" goals. Its current price is around 500 euros. A lens that can certainly not be missing in the photographic set of those who own a reflex with the APS-C sensor and loves landscape photography. The excellent wide angle provides breathtaking views and even at the slightest focal point the distortion is incredibly contained. The baked files are great for sharpness, colors and exposure (high/low lights). It never overexposes frames even in the presence of very intense lights and with a few exceptions the flare (which persecutes several of its competitors) is absent. I read in previous comments that someone complains of poor flare resistance to this lens. Definitely not in my specimen. The autofocus is quick and precise. The brightness is not great (3.5 to TA) but not even a problem. The sharpness at the edges of the frame is also very good and only at the slightest focal point there is a slight drop. Holding the optics you can perceive an excellent build quality in the dials and metal attack. All very sturdy. This keeping a very low size and weight. Clearly, given the focus, it is also a very suitable optics in the interiors and cramped spaces (monuments, churches, museums, architecture in Jan.), considering also its reduced distortion. I personally work in all these contexts and especially in the landscapes where I judge it truly irreplaceable. For my personal experience and for the reviews read on the forums also about the rivals, I judge the 10-22 the best wide zoom installable on a Canon APS-C. The reason why I have not yet abandoned the smaller sensor is that I regret having to undo this lens that has nothing to envy, for e.g., at 17/40 L that I also own on the 6D.

Pros: Light, sturdy, good range of focals, quite luminiso, ability to mount filters

Cons: Sharpness at the edges at the low focals, fairly pronounced aberrations

Opinion: I've been using this lens before the 2000D for a while and now on the 7D mkII, in general I like it, it is versatile to be a wide-angle and at the same time practical, not being neither heavy nor very bulky though.... there's a though. That is, it has a slightly swinging yield, but generally from its worst to 10mm at the edges, they are very soft, not to mention the angles that really make so much pain they are soft that seem moved. But it's to say that you just go up a few mm of focal point and it's better. I recently purchased a 6D as a second body and will probably soon put it up for sale to replace it with the 17-40 to use on 6D. Frankly, I have heard many conflicting opinions about the rendering of this lens and I think that the build quality of this lens is not very constant, or that there is some criticism within it that comes out easily and creates the problems I report. In any case however I did not regret my purchase, because well or badly his work does, knowing the yield he has at 10mm just put a little attention and maybe add a little vignette in the corners so as to divert the look from those 4 points.

Pros: Field of view, price, focus ring

Cons: Low light, materials, loss of sharpness

Opinion: Good wide angle, excellent view to the sales price, quality materials quite plasticky, sharpness that goes to fade at longer focal lengths. Great for beginners and for APS-c. Suffers enough flare and the hood is not sold in all products. Post production almost always a must to give a greater harmony to the colors, light and sharpness.
