They are amazing Linda - you are off to a flying start!1

I bought the Canon 17-40 - not really had time to try it out yet - I did want the Sigma 12-24 but could not get stock anywhere and I thought it may lead to distortion - very impressed with your purchase and the shots you managed to capture.

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!

LOL - Bizzy, you are the second one in this topic who is accusing me of causing a G.A.S. attack :)

Thank you so much for your nice comments on the photos.

They are beautiful shots Linda. I have the Canon 10-22mm, 3.5-4.5 non IS which I love but I can't do what you have done here with it.


That is very kind of you to say, infocus :) Thanks so much.

Does changing the aspect to 16:9 result in an enhance the picture ?


The aspect ratio of the image is not affected by the lens. It's dictated by the camera's sensor, or your own in-camera choice.

The aspect ratio of the T3i sensor is 3:2 and that is what I always use, regardless of lens.

I might have trimmed a tiny off bottom of #3, but you will see that the other two are full frame and would print as 4x6 or 8x12 with no cropping.

The properties of an ultra-wide lens include the ability to get very close to your foreground elements, while still retaining excellent depth of field. Let me know if this answers your query as I'm still sorting it out myself :)
Thanks.
