Digital BW, The Print

Yes, I asked B & H to notify me when the hood comes in.  I'm looking forward to shooting with the lens.  It and the even higher cleaner ISOs than the 10D were why I finally succumbed to buying the 20D.  

Thanks for your update--it sounds very promising and what I've been hoping.  I saw Michael's report awhile ago--and that's one thing that's been tempting me and then I've been seeing samples around so the temptation was too great as Spring is here in the NC foothills and mts.

Thanks Guy.

Diane

  Diane,

  I use the 10-22 on my 20D. It is an amazing lens. F5.6
  and F8 are best sharpness. At 10mm F8 I have done many
  near to far compositions from 15" to infinity that are
  tack sharp corner to corner at 13x19. I do landscape
  so I am less concerned by distortion but it gets
  pretty good marks there, It showed some Chromatic
  Aberration but I have not seen any in my use of it.
  The 9.5" min focus let's you do anything you want to
  with a wide angle. It's fun to be able to make a nose
  to nose portrait of the cat and have the entire room
  in focus.

  Here is a review with some tests:

  My only gripe is that the lens hood us still on back
  order :-(

  Hope this helps.

  Guy
