A buyer was thinking of buying a 10-22mm lens but has asked for advice. His budget is £500. What lens would suit from the Canon range within this price range? It is going on a Canon EOS 30D

He writes I am not sure this is the lens i

Only Canon lens in that range is the Canon EF-S 10-22mm f3.5-4.4 USM Ian and would fit the 30D no problem, just not the 1 series. and is only approx 400 quid from a high street place.

lol @ quoting prices to kerso, why does that seem odd.

Sounds like the 10-22 would cover it well for me, I have found the Sigma 10-20 usefull for similar kind of things. They might stuggle if the planes and things are quite high though as 22mm wont have that much reach.

it won't fit my 5 either Ian

the 10-22 would be ideal in aero museums, I found my 17-40 wasn't nearly wide enough on a 20d during a recent trip to Cosford

Much better on the 5 though

Oooh forgot about the 5D, actually im speechless that you actually took your camera out and used it to be honest

10-22 will not fit the 5D. I suggest the 17-40. Im not sure what these go for, so maybe PM Kerso for a price?

Muppet its for a 30D anyway

Im sure I read 5d :bang:

His only problem using an ultra wide lens very close up will be distortion, at 10mm an aircraft could look pretty weird. It might be a better idea to use a longer focal length and stitch shots together afterwards.

Ian - I have a 30d and 10-22 lens that you recently sold me, and they do work together, and I can't see any other way of getting whole planes in shot in a crammed museum without something this wide..
If you want to give him my contact details, I am happy to try to help, but please stress that am no expert !!

you must be spending too much time looking at other things, it's making your mind wander

Thanks for all replies, buyer has gone with a 10-22mm. Regards Ian.
