Good but not great [Posted on 2008-06-16]
I got this lens to fill the gap at the ultra wide angle on the 40D. After researching this lens and the Tokina 11-16 f/2.8, I decided to go with the Canon 10-22. I saw the reviews that states the Tokina is the sharpest UWA zoom lens for Canon crop sensors right now, but I felt its zoom range was too limiting. After using the Canon 10-22 for a few weeks, here are my thoughts about the pros and cons.
First, the things I like about this lens. It is light with decent build quality, just shy of L quality. However, attaching a good UV filter should be sufficient to keep out most dust. The common 77mm filter size is also convenient. It has exceptional color and contrast. Center sharpness is very good and distortions are relatively low for this type of lens. USM makes focusing fast and quiet. It is compatible with Canon's DPP software for easily correcting distortion and CA.
Now for the negatives. Some chromatic aberrations are present when shooting high contrast areas at the wide end, although DPP is really good at removing most of it. Sharpness falls off as you move away from the center. Edges are a bit too soft for my taste. As mentioned earlier, build quality is decent but does not match L lens quality, which is disappointing considering the high price.
All-in-all, a good, fun lens that should allow you to be more creative.

So far I have not used this lens very much but it I have no complaints about it. I am looking forward to using it more on some future sightseeing trips.
Excellent Lens [Posted on 2008-07-21]
I have been using this lens at weddings and simply love it! While there is a lot of distortion on the edge at 10mm (which should be expected, but still stinks), it makes for some unique images, especially when trying to take in the entire "scene". I have also used it to get large group shots when there's no room to back up. At one wedding, I overheard someone saying "that must be an awfully wide lens 'cause I can't get everyone in!" as he gave up and walked away. I had enough room on the edges that they could easily do an 8x10 crop if they wanted to. It's also fantastic for the bride's getting ready images when it's in a small room. What a useful lens to have in the arsenal!

The Canon 10-22 mm Lens does everything I had hoped it would do for my photography!
Loving the super wide angle lens [Posted on 2008-08-13]
I use this lens quite often. This is the wide-angle zoom lens goes perfectly with my rebel xti. With this lens, I can fit tall skyscraper, wide landscape, room interior into one picture. The lens is very well built. One downside with the lens is the distortion on the wide-end. But I think this is inevitable in every wide-angle lens.
