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!
