If you are taking serious pics and you need low distortion you are better off getting a wide angle prime.

This is not a lens suited for straight lines :D

[jayhan]

unless of course you are dead good in photoshop to straighten the lines. :P

can give example? usual price range?

Price wise the crop cam 40D + 10-22 combo (abt RM6,600) is hard to beat unless you are ready to fork out RM10,000 for the full frame 5D + 17-40L combo.

The 10-22 can be very distorted at 10mm but since you're using it for reference and not for paid jobs, it's good deal. I hope this helps.

14mm f/2.8L II :D

The 10-22mm is very nice for interior. Wide enough to include most of the room. Go get it and make sure u have a tripod for shooting interior.

This lens shows abit of distortion. Not to much of a trouble. Photoshop can remove it well. Actually distortion can be seen in almost all ultra wide lens. So u can't avoid it.

I'm into architecture area, and I love shooting architecture with this lens. It's a great ultra wide angle lens.

If you want the best you should get this on a full frame cam

:D

If not any wide prime would do, or something more versatile like 16-35mm f/2.8 MKII on a 5D :)

If you're just documenting and need low res the 10-22mm will be fine though, the distortion can be removed in photoshop, but you do lose quite a lot of resolution.

I've used this lens (10-22mm) for interior shots without any problem. All ultrawide lenses exhibit distortion, but if you know how to use it, u can minimise the distortion.

A tripod and spirit level is recommended. Make sure the sensor plane is 90deg to the ground and you'll be fine.

[william68]

For interior with tilt(straight line) correction I think TS-E would be better.
TS-E 24mm f3.5L
TS-E 45mm f2.8
TS-E 90mm f2.8

compare canon 10-22 and sigma 10-20, which distortion worst ? tq

[tools4fools]

Get a Nikon 14-24mm and a Canon adapter for it... :D

10-22 can do the job, as said above use a tripod if possilbe and keep the camera horizontal (don't point it up- or downwards).

You then can straigthen out distorted lines in photoshop, resolution still should be good enough for your purposes.

i think that is THE lens for 1DsIII i reckon.

anyway, it may be easy for you to get by from country where u from, but i think difficult here...mind share some photos pls, eager to view them. i think even better than canon 24mmL.

how much is the adapter cost n where do u order ?? THx

Not a problem. Just make use of the photo.

Aperture lock F22 very hard to use :D

Not if you use this adapter:

http://www.16-9.net/nikon_g/

obviously this is the only adapter that allows you to use the 14-24 or any other G lenses as the aperture is set on the lens/adapter by turning it.
Focus has to be manual however.

And some results with some other lenses, among them Canon 14mm L II and Sigma:

The 14-24mm seems to be a true performer, haven't read anythingbut positive reviews and having tried it for a short moment I was impressed myself.

But to be honest I wouldn't buy it for a Canon, spending that much money and then having limited functionality makes no sense to me.

Well I guess it depends on requirements, I do see a need for it with the high resolution of the 1Ds MKIII combined with the image quality of the 14-24mm.

It's the best solution for some people at the moment until the D3x or similar comes out from Nikon.

[tools4fools]

Or until Canon comes out with a similar lens... :P

Well, the Nikon D3x sure is coming...

Guess it depends for what you use the lens/camera combo. As it is travel photography for me it would be quite limiting.

If you do interiors or secenery mainly and deploy a tripod anyway then it won't matter so much of course.

Yah I'd imagine the use would be for high end landscape/interior/architecture or billboard advertising shots where manual focus and a tripod would be a must anyway.

[eddyjnv]

besides shooting landscape, this lens is so much fun to use and it can let your creativity go wild with all kind of composition!

i'm already in love :D
