Description
The EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM is a wide-angle zoom lens designed for Canon EF-S-mount APS-C format DSLR cameras. It offers a versatile focal length range of 16-35.2mm, equivalent to a full-frame camera, making it suitable for a variety of shooting conditions.
Optically, the lens features one Super-Ultra-Low Dispersion (Super-UD) element and three aspherical elements to control chromatic and spherical aberrations, ensuring high image quality with minimal distortion and color fringing. The Super Spectra coating applied to individual elements helps to reduce ghosting and flare, resulting in improved contrast and color neutrality, even in strong lighting conditions.
The lens uses a ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) for fast, quiet, and precise autofocus performance, with full-time manual focus override. The internal focusing design allows for quick focusing speeds while maintaining the overall lens length during operation.
Additionally, the lens features a rounded six-blade diaphragm, which produces a pleasing out-of-focus quality that is ideal for using shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.
Overall, the EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM is a versatile and high-quality wide-angle zoom lens that is well-suited for a variety of applications, including landscape, architecture, and interior photography.
