So sorry you have not actually compared a Canon EF lens to an EF-S lens, or a crop-sensor body to a full-frame body. You would "see the mechanics" if you did.

I would love to share the Hack with you and will once I sell the lens :)

Well folks.....found out that I hack I performed on this fabulous lens is no longer possible. I called Canon to see if the part I used was still available and it is not!

So if you are interested in having an amazing lens that is just as good, if not better than the 16-35mm, this is the lens for you!

I have the tilt shift lens now and no longer need the 10-22mm

Do you want to share how you did it, just out of curiosity?

So what was the part? I am guessing a mount ring from some particular EF lens. (Better than cutting off the hard rubber extension which I have done before.)
Not cool being a "teaser".

I thought EFS lenses were crop sensor lenses?

You are correct and the lens needs to remain on a crop. I reviewed the hack video and the risk of damaging your FF is very high. The gentelman made no bones about the risk of damaging your mirror. Famous quote from the video - be careful

I have both lens and love the FFS but the EF is much better. Although after photoshop.....who can really tell?

I used it this way for years, a zillion shots! As long as you keep the wire on it there is no problem. For those that don't know what the wire is, watch the video.

Also, if someone wants a wide angle lens of this quality and they don't want to spend $1600 for the 16-35mm, this is an amazing bargain at $340. It is better than the 16-35mm as well.
