I needed a wide angle for a job and this came at a good price and meant my fund fro the 2.8 IS dissapeared. I was getting fed up with only having the one zoom gonig to 70mm and then a prime at 85 and 150 so i have my bases covered now. Just need to go out and test the buggers!
 
I haven't used the Sigma, but the 10-22mm is just lovely; my favourite EF-S lens after the 17-55mm, but the 10-22mm is more fun.
 
the 10-22 is a cracking lens i agree. cant wait to try it out!
 
33L, i hate you! :lol:
I wish i had money for new lenses, instead its "wedding this" and "honeymoon that" :lol:




I do Joke, i am looking forward to getting married
 
well i hate to dissapoint, however all this was bought from 100's hours over time so i am not a rich man at all. I am glad that they will be paying for themselves soon!

:lol:
Know that feeling mate
 
I hate 33L because he is jammy and got the 10-22 for a very good price! :D
 
£310 for the 10-22 with hood.
 
bit of bad news - the sigma is front focusing. even with +20 on the 50D micro adjustment its not right.

I have 6 months shop warranty on it so gonig to have to use that for the send of and calibration.

Ouch :(
I suppose a warranty repair would be the best solution if you got a deal on the price.
Have you mentioned it to the seller?

it was a shop i bought it from so hopefully they will honour the 6 months guarantee they give in house. Just doing some fact finding on cost!
 
right the shop have honured the calibration so still a very happy person.
