The Best Available wide-angle for the XT, April 28, 2006
Reviewer: Brian Koch "Aspiring Photographer"
This lens feels sturdy and is amazingly wide especially considering the
1.6X factor of the XT which makes lenses 1.6X narrower than normal. So
basically you have a 16-35 lens. This is not really the best range for
just everyday shooting so you really have to have a goal in mind when
using this lens. Landscapes that include close-ups along with lots of
background are the main things that I use this lens for. I have also used
it for forest interior, sunrise/sunset, and indoor shooting. All-in-all
this is a very nice lens and if you have the need for such a lens this is
a good choice.

Huge WOW factor!, April 25, 2006
Reviewer: G. Wagstaff "Surfdog"
I picked up this lens when I purchased my 30D. All I can say is WOW! What
a terrific lens this is. If not for the "S" designation it would probably
be an "L" lens for sure.
OK, so it won't work on the 5D & up...who cares..? Frankly I don't see the
point of the 5D. It has nothing over the 30D in real life terms...might as
well bite the bullet and head for the 1Ds Mark II. In which case money can
no longer be considered part of the equation...it's just a serious tool.
If you own one of the cameras that can use it, or are thinking about such
a move, by all means grab this one. Yeah, other makers have a lens that's
about the same but let's face it...nothing beats a quality Canon USM lens.
And this is just that...a quality USM lens.
Between this and the other lenses I just bought (24-70 f/2.8L & 70-200
f/2.8L), I may just have to put my Nikon F4s up for sale...or hand it over
to my kids.

Amazing Lens , April 10, 2006
Reviewer: B. Scott
I just recently purchased my copy of this lens from Amazon.com and let me
tell you it was at an excellent price. I got the lens, and went down to
42nd street (NYC) to try it out, and I have to say wow... it's just
amazing. I have to really say it's great. You just can't get enough of the
super wide angle of the 10mm end of the spectrum. Anyone that has used the
18-55 for most of there time will cry with relief when they order, and get
their hands on this lens. The contrast, clarity, and sharpness is amazing.
Even the autofocus is super fast...
Thanks for a great buy.

This is my favorite lens., March 6, 2006
Reviewer: Michi
I owned a super wide angle lens for my 35mm Canon's, and I really missed
having a good wide angle to go with my Rebel XT. I finally talked myself
into spending a lot of money and bought this lens. I can honestly say that
I do not regret it. This lens is amazing. The quality is exceptional. It
is very sharp, and the lens is very sturdy. I find myself using this as a
standard lens very often. Many of my favorite shots are taken at 10mm. The
wide angle this lens offers at 10mm really gives you a whole new
perspective on how you can take pictures. I would recommend this lens to
anyone who wants to venture into the world of super wide angles.

Will not work with the new Canon 5D (full frame sensor), September 5,
2005
Reviewer: John D. Margaretten
If you are content with the APS sized sensor in the Rebels and 20D then
this is a great lens-- perhaps the best in the EF-S lineup. However, if
you plan to upgrade to the 5D which will be released later this month, or
another full frame sensor Canon DSLR, then this lens will not work due to
the fact that the mirror for the 35mm sized sensors would impact the lens.
As such no EF-S lenses will work with the 1Ds, the 5D, or their progeny.
