This product is in fairly new condition, with minimal dust on the lens. No scratching or blemishes on the inside or outside of the lens

Key Features and Specifications:

1. Focal Length:

   • 10-22mm (16-35mm equivalent on APS-C sensors): This ultra-wide focal length range provides expansive perspectives, making it ideal for capturing broad landscapes, sweeping architectural shots, and tight interior spaces.
   • At the 10mm end, the lens offers an extremely wide field of view, while the 22mm end brings it closer to a standard wide-angle view.

2. Aperture:

   • Variable Maximum Aperture: f/3.5 at 10mm and f/4.5 at 22mm. This allows for good light gathering capability while maintaining a relatively compact design.
   • 7-Blade Diaphragm: Creates pleasing out-of-focus areas (bokeh) in shallow depth of field shots.

3. Autofocus:

   • Ring-Type Ultrasonic Motor (USM): Delivers fast, precise, and near-silent autofocus performance, making it suitable for both photography and video recording.
   • Full-time manual focus override allows for fine-tuning focus without switching modes.

4. Optics and Image Quality:

   • Super Spectra Coating: Reduces ghosting and flare, especially in backlit conditions, for greater contrast and image clarity.
   • Aspherical Lens Elements: Designed to correct distortions and spherical aberrations, delivering sharp, high-quality images across the entire zoom range.
   • Low-Dispersion Elements: Helps to minimize chromatic aberrations (color fringing), particularly around the edges of high-contrast subjects.

5. Lens Construction:

   • 13 elements in 10 groups. Designed to optimize image quality throughout the zoom range, ensuring sharp, distortion-free results even at the widest settings.

6. Minimum Focusing Distance:

   • 0.24 meters (9.5 inches): The close focusing distance allows for creative wide-angle close-ups, with exaggerated perspectives that add depth and drama to images.

7. Build Quality:

   • Lightweight and Compact: Weighing just 385 grams (13.6 ounces), this lens is easy to carry and balances well on Canon's smaller DSLR bodies, making it an excellent travel companion.
   • The build is solid with a mix of metal and high-quality plastic, offering durability without adding excessive weight.

8. Filter Thread:

   • 77mm Filter Size: The lens features a 77mm filter thread, compatible with a wide range of filters for creative effects, such as polarizers or neutral density filters.

9. Image Stabilization:

   • No Optical Image Stabilization (IS): However, the ultra-wide focal length minimizes the impact of hand shake, especially in well-lit conditions.

10. Use Cases:

    • Landscape Photography: The wide-angle zoom allows you to capture vast expanses of scenery with rich detail and depth.
    • Architecture and Interiors: Perfect for capturing tight spaces, large buildings, and creative perspectives in architecture photography.
    • Street and Travel Photography: Its lightweight design makes it a great choice for travel, allowing you to capture wide-angle shots of cityscapes and dynamic environments.
