A buyer was thinking of buying a 10-22mm lens but has asked for advice. His budget is £500. What lens would suit from the Canon range within this price range? It is going on a Canon EOS 30D

He writes I am not sure this is the lens i

Only Canon lens in that range is the Canon EF-S 10-22mm f3.5-4.4 USM Ian and would fit the 30D no problem, just not the 1 series. and is only approx 400 quid from a high street place.

lol @ quoting prices to kerso, why does that seem odd.

Sounds like the 10-22 would cover it well for me, I have found the Sigma 10-20 usefull for similar kind of things. They might stuggle if the planes and things are quite high though as 22mm wont have that much reach.

it won't fit my 5 either Ian :D

the 10-22 would be ideal in aero museums, I found my 17-40 wasn't nearly wide enough on a 20d during a recent trip to Cosford

Much better on the 5 though :thumbs:

10-22 will not fit the 5D. I suggest the 17-40. Im not sure what these go for, so maybe PM Kerso for a price? :p

His only problem using an ultra wide lens very close up will be distortion, at 10mm an aircraft could look pretty weird. It might be a better idea to use a longer focal length and stitch shots together afterwards.

Ian - I have a 30d and 10-22 lens that you recently sold me, and they do work together, and I can't see any other way of getting whole planes in shot in a crammed museum without something this wide..
If you want to give him my contact details, I am happy to try to help, but please stress that am no expert !!
