Lovely lense enjoying it however feels like I shouldn't bought it as I'm a wedding photographer and use ot only when I need to get into tight corners and well I'm not always in tight corners :P Over all a good lense however there is a slight distortion at the corners of the image not visible in the...

Incredible wide angle capture without distortion. Auto focus and stabilising feature give fantastically clear photos. Perfect for indoor shots and confined spaces. So pleased I purchased this lens.

Great wide angle lens. Got great shots already. Happy with purchase.

- Value for money - STM Motor is quite, fast and accurate - IS is highly effective Overall a great lens and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good wide angle lens with a budget

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. The lens, compatible with APS-C Canon cameras, features an STM focus motor for smooth video autofocus with select bodies, and image stabilization to steady handheld video. There's some barrel distortion at the wide end, and we wish the lens was a bit more sturdily built, but given its price tag and the general quality of photos it's an easy lens to recommend for wide-angle Canon photographers and videographers. The 10-18mm is very compact, especially when you consider just how wide of a field of view it covers. It measures in at 2.8 by 2.9 inches (HD), weighs 8.5 ounces, and supports 67mm front filters. Its field of view is roughly equivalent to a 16-29mm zoom on a full-frame camera, and while the 1.8x zoom ratio sounds modest, the change in angle of view is substantial when z...

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.

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...

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

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
