There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
So after reading a number of very positive reviews of this new 10-18, and especially after seeing it's awesomely low (for canon) price of $299, i thought i'd give it a try. Yes, it is rather slow aperture-wise, so it's not so great for low light stuff or anything, but it is so useful! I hadn't realized how much wider (and how often!) i wanted to get past 18mm until i had the option to, and all of the sudden my sigma 18-35 has started feeling cramped, and i find myself reaching for the 10-18 way more often than i would have thought.
The super wide 10mm allows me to get shots that previously would have been impossible, especially in small, cramped rooms, and from a very cool perspective as well. For example the other day I was shooting a band recording in a small, cramped studio space, and i was able to get awesome full body shots from just like 2 or 3 feet away. This lens also has a much closer minimum focus distance than its competitors, enabling it to get super unique shots up a lot closer to your subjects than you could be with those other lenses.
For video, the wider the lens the more stable everything looks and the less you notice little bumps or shakes in the camera, which is great for shooting handheld (plus that image stabilizer!) but it gets even more awesome with this lens up on my shoulder stabilizer. Moving shots at 10mm are basically indistinguishable from a glidecam or steadicam shot, especially with a little warp stabilizer added in post. Even going up and down stairs at a pretty fast, even pace, this thing glides effortlessly along at those wide angles, plus the STM focusing means it's fast and silent when autofocusing (70D) as well.
The plastic mount does not bother me, everyone is obsessed with metal lens mounts but i have had a 50mm 1.8 for years and never had a single problem with it's supposedly crappy plastic mount and so i don't anticipate any problems with the 10-18 either. The whole "plasticy"ness in general that so many people complain about with cheaper lenses like these doesn't phase me, i only care about the glass itself, and the image quality it can achieve... which in this case is very respectable, no complaints at all. If you google head to head this verse the 10-22mm it's actually beating it in a lot of different areas, you should check out some reviews if you're on the ropes
TL;DR
Awesome price, awesome and unique wide angle shots, I'm very pleased with this lens
I had long wished to purchase the Canon 10-22mm wide angle lens, but had hesitated due to its price. When the 10-18mm was introduced at less than half the price, I was curious and when lens tests showed it to be of comparable image quality, my interest was piqued. Yes, the 10-18mm has a smaller aperture, but the addition of image stabilization, which the 10-22 does not have, should be more than enough compensation. The reduced zoom range may result in somewhat more frequent lens changes, but for $350 savings, I can live with that. The metal lens mount of the 10-22 is surely stronger and more rugged, but the 10-18 is so lightweight and compact that I suspect the plastic mount is more than adequate, particularly for amateur use. The one area of optical performance where tests show the 10-18 to be at a disadvantage is light falloff (vignetting) at corners and edges at large apertures. I reasoned that in practice, I will use the lens mostly outdoors at an aperture of f8 or more where the performance of the two lenses is reported as similar.
On initial examination, the lens feels of higher quality than Canon's "kit" lenses, as befits its higher price. Specifically, the zoom and focus adjustments are much smoother and there is no looseness in the front element, as there is in the EF-S 18-55, for example. The lens is considerably smaller and lighter weight than the 10-22 and is close in size and weight to the 18-55, albeit with a larger diameter front element. I find that my small sling bag (Case Logic SLRC-205) easily accommodates the addition of the EF-S 10-18 with the hoods mounted on all three lenses (reversed on the EF-S 55-250). The EF-S 10-18 ships with a nice center pinch lens cap which affords easy removal and replacement with the hood in place.
My first opportunity to use the lens was probably a worst case scenario: indoors without flash and wide open at ISO 1600. The results were predictable from the optical tests: strong vigneting at shorter focal lengths and when the "peripheral illumination correction" is applied in DPP, detail at corners and edges is marred by noise. This is not too severe a problem if your exposures are spot on, but it leaves little room for correction. There is modest barrel distortion at the wide end that is easily corrected in DPP. Speaking of DPP, I was pleased to find that lens data for the 10-18mm is now available on the Canon site, since it was not before I ordered the lens, so be sure to update DPP to the current version and then update the lens data in the DLO module. DPP's DLO does an admirable job of correcting CA and sharpness issues and, along with DPP's other lens tools, virtually banishes all lens shortcomings. For me, DPP's lens corrections are reason enough to buy Canon lenses.
Now, having used the lens for about 16 months, I've found that it easily meets my original expectations. The vignetting is its only real shortcoming but is quite manageable and correctable in most situations. Maximum aperture is not an issue since I am usually shooting at f8-f11 to maximize depth of field while avoiding diffraction softness (a function of the APS format, not the lens.) "Focus by wire" is somewhat less easy to use than a mechanical link, but its more of a change in paradigm than a handicap. The lack of zoom range overlap with my "kit" lens is occasionally inconvenient, but not $350 worth. When using a polarizer (Hoya HRT), the corners of the image will be clipped at focal lengths less than about 12mm, but this is eliminated when distortion correction is applied in DPP, even at 10mm. A polarizer is of limited value at short focal lengths anyway due to the wide variation in sky luminance. As noted above, it is quite sharp when DPP's DLO corrections are applied. Its small size and light weight assure that I have it with me, in fact, I probably carry it mounted more than any other lens. In summary, I'm pleased with the EFS-10-18mm lens and thrilled with the savings in cost and bulk as compared to the 10-22mm, not to mention the benefit of IS. I highly recommend this lens!
Candid shots of lots of people in a small space can be challenging for a number of reasons, not least of which is being able to get back from your subjects without other bodies filling in the space. With this lens, that problem vanished. The lens handled all of the close work beautifully. Again, a professional may have found some issues at the edges or other places, but nothing stood out to me with moderate scrutiny. The architectural shots also came out great, and were something I could not have done without the extreme wide angle range of a lens like this.
Note, the image scale distortion you get with any extreme wide angle lens is something to keep in mind if scale of your subjects matters. I had to take a shot of 15 or so people lined up side by side, not able to back away too much. The extreme wide angle lens does distort the apparent height of the people to the edges of the shot, making them appear much shorter than they are, and a bit wider. I would not recommend this lens for that type of shot, except as an only resort.
It may be inexpensive and not an L lens, but for most photographers, it is a great addition to your lens collection.

+ Hyper léger
+ Très compact
+ Autofocus excellent que ce soit en photo ou en vidéo, un bon autofocus devient très important quand on se colle à moins d'un mètre du sujet et que l'on doit conserver des sujets nets à quelques mètres ce qui est le cas si l'on veut remplir le cadre en dessous de 14mm
+ IS très utile en intérieur pour compenser la faible ouverture
+ Qualité d'image très correcte vu les focales et le range
+ Un complément idéal aux 18-55 et 55-250 qui sont elles aussi de bonnes optiques qui doivent participer au succès commercial.
+ Pas de réel concurrent que ce soit chez Canon ou ailleurs
+ Jusqu'à 14mm on a des angles de champ larges classiques, en dessous plus on s'approche des 10mm on vire vers le psychédélique avec des perspectives dilatées à l'extrême
- Ouvertures faibles, mais le /4 /5,6 est de rigueur dans cette gamme de prix
- Les qualités optiques ne sont pas sans défauts, mais ses concurrents non plus, quant aux focales fixes et zooms pro. les prix deviennent stratosphériques
- Sous les 14mm composer une bonne image devient sportif
Bref une bonne optique à un prix étonnant pour découvrir les joies et les peines du super grand angle.
