Today we are going to look at the Canon EF-S 10 to 18 millimeter

wide

angle

lens

. This will be a

review

from a serious perspective for the average consumer and I will provide some photo and video

samples

and talk about what I like and don't like using the

lens

because this is Canon's cheapest ultra

wide

angle

lens and it is important to have Note that it has an EFS mount that is made for DSLRs with an aps-c sensor, so it won't fit full frame. DSLR like a Canon 5d, so one of the things that the price gives away is the plastic mounts, in fact the entire lens is made of this material, but the quality of the plate is excellent, the rings and switches are They feel very solid and, because of this, are completely plastic.

The canister is actually very lightweight, making it great for carrying around and especially for using as a vlogging lens, which I'll get into later. On the side of the lens you'll find the standard autofocus to manual switch and yes, this. The lens has image stabilization, as mentioned above, the switches are solid and tight, but I find the flat, low-profile design of the switches makes them a little difficult to use by touch. I really like the rings on this lens, they are both very smooth and refined the zoom ring offers just the right amount of resistance it is very easy and smooth to turn the focus ring is even smoother and lighter but it may look narrow but the rubber sticks out slightly above the body and I find it very nice to use talking about focusing This Canon uses their STM motor for autofocus and unlike the fixed ratio focus rings found on mechanical motors, Canon has given these lenses STM Variable speed focus rings.

Now this is great in some cases, for example you can make very fine and precise changes in focus if you turn the ring very slowly, but because of this design the focus ring has no distance markings, this may not be a big problem in many cases, but for video work this makes it much more difficult to focus from one object to another. You're never sure how much you need to move the ring because the ratio changes depending on how fast you turn it, however you can get used to it and being a wide angle lens I generally use autofocus a lot more.

The way this lens doesn't have full manual focus override, making it extremely fast and basically silent focusing, the image stabilizer along with the light weight and wide angle of the lens make it a great choice for video. laptops, this is a great lens for vlogging. For anyone with a 10 millimeter DSLR camera, the frame is extremely wide and can fit so much next to your human face at 18 millimeters that the lens allows you to get close enough for most blocks aside from the limits of the focal range. What does this lens do? It doesn't have a very large aperture, F 4 stop 5 to 5 stop 6 is pretty typical for most budget lenses, which means this lens has problems in low light situations, such as at night or inside a dome, now in terms of image quality the snail is pretty good, the colors are great and natural, the sharpness and contrast are pretty decent, being an ultra wide angle lens there will be a bit of that fisheye distortion on the right and left edges of the frame.

Solar fillet is another thing that you may see in these lanes quite often, as the lens captures so much that it is often difficult to lock on. One thing I noticed is that this lens has some flare in the corners, it's very subtle and some people even like what you're going to get. to edit it if you don't like slightly dark corner images, but overall I have to say that I am very satisfied with the usability and performance of this lens, you just have to know what it is good at and what it isn't. Good at Personally, I find this lens to be perfect for landscape photography.

You can really take advantage of a lot of space to get a majestic shot. This lens is also great for property photography. The wide angle really enhances the feeling of space when choosing between indoors or outdoors. It is particularly useful for photographing in tighter spaces, while the standard lens may struggle to fit in a full room now, as mentioned above this lens does not perform brilliantly in low light situations, which is why I personally reserved it for use in brighter environments; It's just another major weakness. Whether you only shoot at wide angles to top things off, I can say that this lens is extremely good

value

for money and offers wide angle photography and video at a relatively low price.

It has excellent image quality and features to back it up. There are very few defects that it may have. work easily and if you like images with a great sense of scale and width, this lens will allow you to capture what most people can't. Thanks for watching.
