what makes this lens better than the Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5?

Canon ad Nikon make a consumer grade of lens and separate from that they make a professional grade of lens. I think all of Canon's professional grade lenses have a "L" in their name. I think the 10-22 mm is a consumer grade lens. My 16-35 is a stunningly good lens. It depends what camera you are putting any of these lenses on. My 5D Mark II is a full frame sensor. Other cameras are 3/4 frame sensor. On my camera the 16-35mm is actual. On a 3/4 frame sensor the mm would be different. Canon has great email support for questions and they are fairly quick at answering. It is in their best interest to do so. Good Luck, I hope this is of some use.

I have not used the 10-22mm. EF is for full sensor cameras such as the 6D, 5D and 1D and EF-S is for cropped sensors. But since I did not use the 10-22, I am not sure what feature it has annd how it compares to the 16-35mm in terms of photos taken. From specs, the 2 have different specs and most apparent are the speed and the f stops on the 16-35mm. For the photos I shot in it, it is an exceptional lens.

This is a far superior lens. The sharpness is pretty impressive. I have used the Canon 70-200 2.8 IS MK I and the Tamron is better than that one also. Haven't used the Canon MK II version yet but I am extremely happy with the Tamron

Only difference is image stabilization. You might prefer IS on your crop sensor. On full frame the lens is wide enough to not need it. This is a great lens.

I have both. The f/4 has only two advantages: it's much more portable, and it's much cheaper. But if you can afford the f/2.8, and if you can bring it where you want to use it (it's big, and you will probably want at least a monopod)--well, it's an amazing lens. Haven't regretted buying mine for an instant.

What are you wanting to know? They are both excellent lenses just depends on what you are wanting to do with them!!

It's a better lens. There are video tests on youtube of these two lenses against each other and this lens is considerably sharper. It's sharpness is somewhere between the Canon 85mm 1.8 and the Canon 85mm 1.2 L lens. This is a very powerful lens.

My suggestions would be first the Canon 24-105mm F4.0 IS L and if the price is too much, go for the Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM.

I bought the Canon 10-22mm because it was a little bit faster (3.5/4.5 vs 4.0/5.6) and gave me a little more range on the zoom. I tend to trust Canon glass over Sigma personally especially with the technical components. I've shot on the Sigma and the Canon and as far as picture quality goes, I give the edge to the Canon lens.

This is no easy call. Both lenses are said to perform similarly in terms of IQ. I've owned the EF 28mm f/1.8 and was never happy with it due to innacuracy of AF and image softness. Some folks like it quite a bit. Not my case. I wouldn't recommend this lens. I've read good reviews about the Sigma 30 mm, but I lack first hand experience. My two cents worth...

The 50mm f/1.4 doesn't offer enough of an image quality boost over the 50mm f/1.8 to justify buying it. The 85mm f/1.8 offers faster ring type USM focusing, the 50mm f/1.8 does not. The 85mm f/1.8 has a rich and creamy bokeh that is as good or better than the 50mm f/1.4. While still being a great traditional portrait lens, the extra reach of the 85m f/1.8, makes it great for concerts, plays, and gymnasium sports. I like to say the 85mm f/1.8 is the lens that every parent should own (and anyone who wants to sell photos to parents too).

Michael - Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I just educated myself on the 10-22 mm and decided that is the lens for me! Now to save up... :)

Hi thomyi, you may try checking on the link below for the direct comparison between the two lenses. -Elyhttp://store.sony.com/gsi/webstore/WFS/SNYNA-SNYUS-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductCompareService-Show?CategoryID=on0KmUBxnZQAAAFEYhlScEcW

So, I'm looking to upgrade from the Canon EF-S 55-250 ISII lens that I currently shoot my daughter's soccer and outdoor nature scenes. I know this is an entry level L, still the price is hard to complain about. How much of a difference from my current lens (on a 70D) will this make, and will I still be able to shoot fairly clean/crisp images @ 200mm without IS? I can use a monopod, so I'm sure that would help. Thoughts?

I used 28-135 for more than 8 years and was happy with it. Recently, I purchased 24-105 and I was very surprised. AF is fast, image is clear, IS is working very good. 24-105 is excellent lens and much better than 28-135.

Hi Carlos, Just a slight improvement and longer focal range. If you want a noticeable improvement on image quality, we recommend using prime lenses. -Anthony

I have both and the 85mm has a much better build quality, longer focal length, and more robust colors and image quality is significantly better. I rarely use my 50mm anymore. I keep it because of its low price and the resale value isn't worth it.

The lens I mostly use is the EF-S 17-85mmf/3-5.6 67mm Wide angle and it's beautiful!! change to just a standard 70-300mm telephoto zoom and go to space! Sweet thing about EOS is if you were shoot'n any of the lower EOS models (650D..1100D...} you will instantly be familiar with the 60D and higher!!!
