MY LENS ARRIVED TODAY, GREAT LENS, THE MANUAL FOCUS RING IS SNUG BUT SMOOTH FOR YOU MANUAL PHOTOGRAPHERS, BUT SO IS THE AUTOFOCUS MODE ON THIS LENS AS WELL. I USE BOTH. THE PICS I TOOK CAME OUT GREAT. YES I WOULD RECOMMEND THE LENS FOR WIDE ANGLE PICTURES ESPECIALLY LANDSCAPES.. ENJOY

This lens is quite extraordinary. I hoped for a lens that would see as much as me, but it sees much wider and higher. Very clear pictures, extraordinary colour. The Image Stabilizer made my decision to purchase. My hands shake and the IS works!

What an amazing little lens. Super light and small with a built in image stabilizer. This is already selling very well and is very popular with travel photographers who want an ultra wide lens that they can hand hold in low light. It also has STM AF which means it is silent when using it with video.

very cheap yet very useful lens for travelling photographers. but at least mine 10-18 can show very poor sharpness along the edges (and I don't just mean corners) quite often which I think has something to do with build tolerance and consistency of the optical assembly. when it nails it, it's great.

cheap; very small and light; decent sharpness; good colours; decent IS

slow apperture; crappy build tolerance or it's just AF accuracy (quite often one edge of the photo is very off focus

It's inexpensive, lightweight and ultra-wide, so is the new 10-18mm zoom a must-have lens for Canon APS-C camera owners? Jon Devo finds out

This compact ultra-wide angle lens for Canon APS-C format digital SLRs features Canon's latest stepping focusing motor technology, which promises, smoother, quieter autofocus performance, which is especially suited to recording video.

Excellent sharpness; Lightweight; Compact; Fast focusing; Image stabilisation; Very good value for money

No hood included as standard

For many years – ten, to be precise – Canon has satisfied the ultra-wideangle needs of APS-C users with the classic EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM lens. After seeing the popularity of this lens take off on cameras such as the EOS 300D, 350D, 20D and 30D, rival manufacturers such as Sigma and Tamron...

The in-expensive Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM offers more features and much better image quality that you might expect given its price-point, making it a great ultra-wide-angle addition to a compact, lightweight EOS kit.

The Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM ($299.99) may feel like a budget lens thanks to plastic construction (including its lens mount), but its feature set and the images it captures tell a different story.

Sharp throughout range; Affordably priced; Ultra-wide angle field of view; Optically stabilized; STM focus motor

Plastic lens mount; Lots of barrel distortion at 10mm; Some color fringing; Lens hood not included; Narrow aperture

This is the not often used lens that augments my 10 - 200mm travel lens. I could not justify spending nearly double or more for a wide angle lens that may be marginally better, but weighs in at double or more.

Compact; Good Zoom Range; Image Stabilization; Light Weight; Low Price

No Comp Update; Thick Filter Vignette
