Canon EF-S 10-22mm on C300?
Has anyone tried this lens on the C300? Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM
Wondering how it works at the wide end? |
Re: Canon EF-S 10-22mm on C300?
Should be fine. The C300 sensor is only a fraction bigger than APS-C.

Thanks Jalan,
Yes, I have read the specs but, I am asking if someone who owns the lens has used it with the C300 and if it works well. I owned the lens years ago with the 7D and returned it due to poor optics. Did I have a bad copy? Did the lens improve? Does it work better on the lower res C300? Will the C300 let it go full wide with out problems? |
Re: Canon EF-S 10-22mm on C300?
My Canon 10-22mm EF-S is razor sharp and seems to work well on my C100 (same sensor as C300 as you know) and is excellent on my 7D for stills - where of course resolution is even more important!
I've not noticed unacceptable vignetting on full wide even without enabling the C100s new "EF-S Lens Mode" which can digital zoom in slightly to compensate for the slightly larger sensor (1.53x I think from memory) compared to the Canon crop DSLR sensor of 1.6x. Some may notice slightly darker corners and at least one C300 owner that I know actually likes that look. My guess is you had a bad copy back then. Why not rent one and try it out? |

Thanks Andy that is what I was hoping to hear.
I must have had a bad copy which is rare from Canon. |
Re: Canon EF-S 10-22mm on C300?
what about the sigma? 3.5 throughout is a strong point in its favor over the canon
|
Re: Canon EF-S 10-22mm on C300?
Thanks Darren but it is Canon for me, being a CPS it makes perfect sense. I know the C300 does not handle Sigma as well as Canon. And you can do CA correction for Canon glass and just have better control of the lens. I think I will purchase the 10-22 Canon just for the C300. I try to only purchase Canon L glass, but the 17-55 (perfect fit for the C300) and I think the 10-22 will also be nice for the C300. To go long I have plenty of Canon L options.

The Tokina 11-16 really rocks on the C300 - just sayin'...

Burk,
I have always heard great things about the Tokina 11-16. |

Attached is a screengrab from a shoot with a C100 and EF-S 10-22mm .
Somewhere along the route via VLC and iphoto it has been cropped slightly. I don't have time to work out why. So it is not as helpful as it could be. Even so I am posting in case it is of any interest. I think the lens was as wide as it would go. I may have zoomed in very slightly for framing. |

Paul I regularly use the 10-22 on the C300 without any vignetting. The lens is wonderful.
Always wanted to try the Tokina and glad to hear your results, Nigel. I wonder if, in your opinion, the Tokina's increased distortion is more or less significant than its ability to open up to f/2.8. |
Re: Canon EF-S 10-22mm on C300?
thanks Andrew,
Purchased it and I like it. Miss the IS from the 17-55 at times but the 10-16 wide is nice. |
Re: Canon EF-S 10-22mm on C300?
congrats on the purchase. throw up some shots!
i can offer up my current wide solution: the tokina 12-24 f4. fits my range needs rather nice. i believe this was shot around 15mm wide open, as you can see a bit of softness in the corners, but great in the center: |
