Chinook Pass landscapes with my new "ultra-wide" lens!
Jul 26, 2014 16:32:07 #
Browsing the internet on Tuesday, I was delighted to discover this lens, very recently released: Canon EF-S 10-18mm f-4.5-5.6 IS STM for APS-C cameras. On Friday I had it in hand (from B&H, NYC).
Price right now is $300. As comparison, the Canon 10-22 mm (without IS, but wider aperture) for APS-C cameras is $650 new, $490 used.
... first one I've owned where you can't hear the auto-focus!
- equiv focal length to full-frame camera: 16 - 29 mm
- 8.6 inches min. focus distance
- about 1/2 lb. weight
- only one of class with image stabilization, makes up for f/5.0 at 11 mm, f/5.6 at 15+ mm
Canon T3i, shot in raw, minimal processing. Yes, the sky was that blue at 5,200' elevation :)
Any tips for ultra-wide-angle use will be much appreciated!

Wonderful though those pics are, and the associated lens, the subject matter doesn't get shipped in the box for free.
Getting there might cost a lot more than the lens!
Which probably means you should just buy the lens right now.
Then you will have the excuse for a trip to the mountains!
:lol:

Looks like you're off to a good start. Enjoy your new lens.
The only thing I would have said about using a wide angle lens, would be to get something in the foreground. Looks like you got that one down pat.

Thanks! I did read a bit for composition pointers. Main problem is everything was low, and so I used the rotating LCD and live view. The problem there is my LCD is very dirty and I often couldn't see what I was shooting (bright sun too) - lol. Fixing that as we speak :)

You're very welcome.
I have the 10-22mm and it basically didn't come off my camera for a very LONG time, after I got it in the mail. :)
