The following is part of a series of articles describing the type of camera and computer equipment I use on a daily basis. These are not exactly reviews of the equipment, but more of just a synopsis of what I like to use and why. I will be adding to this section as time permits, and you will always be able to read through them by selecting the In The Bag category or one of its sub-categories in the sidebar.

The Canon 10-22mm EF-S was the third lens I bought after switching to Canon some time ago. I was pretty skeptical about this lens at first. It’s pretty slow at f/3.5-4.5 and it isn’t an “L” series lens. But I really wanted something much wider for my 20D. The other main criticism I had about this lens was that it is an EF-S lens, which means it only works on Canon’s 1.6x crop factor cameras. This means the 20D, 30D, and 40D and the Rebels, and that’s it. If I ever upgraded to a 1D series camera or a 5D I wouldn’t be able to use this lens.
After much debate, I decided that it the price was right (I got mine used for about $500) and I really wanted my wide-angle back. The 10-22 equates to a 16-35mm lens on my 20D.
