New Canon 10-22 Lens

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

I have a Canon 20D and just received my now 10-22 lens. My initial trials
with the lens have shown that I have to increase exposure one full stop or
the shots are too dark. Do any of you who have this lens have this problem,
or is it a flaw in the lens? With all my other lenses, I use no exposure
compensation.

I have a 20D and the 10-22. I find the camera metering works as well
with the 10-22 F/3.5-4.5 USM as it does with my 24-70 F/2.8 L USM and
my 70-200 F/4 L USM.

What aperture does the camera indicate before you take a shot?
Have you tried the DOF button to see if the aperture iris is working
properly?
Are you taking pictures of diffcult subjects that require exposure
correction?

Note: I use partial metering since I found Evaluative and center
weighted to confuse the camera operator whereas partial is more like a
spot meter.
Note: I almost never use anthing other then Av mode.
Also Note: I find I have to use exposure compensation on roughly 50% of
my shots (anyway).

I have tried it with several aperature settings, so I couldn't say. I am
using Exposure Compensation, so it modifies the shutter speed.

No, but I assume it is OK because my other lenses are OK. I'll check.

Not particularly. I was initially facing partially into the sun, but
experimented by turning in all directions with the same settings and the
exposure was the same on all - dark.

I use partial metering most of the time also. I take a lot of photos of my
wife's orchids and usually use center metering then, but I vary from time to
time.

I seem to use AV most of the time also. I haven't used exposure
compensation in the past except on rare occasions. Do you use a full stop
or fractions?

Maybe things are OK, but I have in mind sending it back if it continues to
be a problem.

No problems here.

That the aperture iris works in your other lenses does not prove it
works in this lens!

Try testing the lens with the sunny 16 rule and then using a grey card.
Plenty of sites will provide information on how this best works. Probably
start of with the mainstays such as:

I was about to agree with you, but.

The 10-22 sees very different compositions, and outside there may be enough
sky in the scene to mess up matrix, center weighted, or averaging metering.
So, yes, the 10-22 may be problematic for metering.

Check the histogram and reshoot if necessary.

(Obligatory rant: this sort of thing is why you need a spot meter.)

The OP's lens may be busted. I'd recommend testing metering with the lens
with identical compositions, e.g. a wall with no sky up close with the 10-22
and from further away with a longer lens.

OK - I did some more testing and paid particular attention to the
histogram - after visiting a couple of sites suggested by another poster.

It seems that everyting works pretty well, even though I do have to keep
exposure compensation set to 1 full stop or 2/3 stop. This is when I am
shooting something relatively close. When I am shooting a long scene, like
from 100 feet or longer, the histogram is bunched up at either end with
mid-range being flat. I guess this is an indication that I am seeing a lot
of sky, and a lot of ground which would be at each end of the histogram. On
shots within 20-50 feet, everything looks good, with a bell-curve histogram.
(High point in the center).. The photos look very good for near shots but
are not what I would expect for distances. I have never owned a wide angle
lens before though and it may be a feature of the lens.

Since I forsee that most of my shots with the lens will be relatively close,
I don't have a major problem. Yesterday was bright and sunny and today is
overcast. Even the distant shots today were better than yesterday,
indicating that a lens hood might help. I say this because there was some
lightness in distant features, even with narrow apertures, suggesting that
stray light might have affected it.

Thanks for all the comments and if I am screwed up in my thinking, which is
likely, let me know.

Here's a good hood for about half the price of Mr Canon's version:
http/cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=30060&item=3870572180

It seems identical other than some Chinese (?) characters on the rim.
The vendor was quick to ship, seems reliable.

I have checked the DOF button and the aperture iris is working.

Thanks Frank! I ordered one. I have been trying to find one at other sites
but no one has any. B&H has had them on backorder for a month or more. For
$23, I can't lose much.

Thanks again,
Don

You're welcome.

Just for fun, here's a photo from 16th January, car show at Ellen
Browning Scripps Park in La Jolla, California. Lovely day, and I
couldn't understand why all those vapor trails indicated folks headed
East.

1/125 @ f/14, ISO 100, 10mm, Exposure compensation -0.33.

That's a nice shot. How close behind the two cars were you. I would guess
about 2-3 feet. I have been tryiing to post a shot I took of my wife's
shade house that shows the wide angle ability of the lens and a couple of
the pitfalls associated with it. Pbase is so unreliable that I have been
unable to upload anything for a while. You were very fortunate to catch the
three vapor trails. That really added to the photo.

This is not the same hood as the one for the 10-22. The one on eBay
appears to be the Canon EW-83II (for the 20-35 USM). The one for the
EF-S 10-22 is the EW-83E.

Canon makes a load of different hoods with the EW-83 designation, it's
the suffix that indicates which lens it is for.

EW-83II (20-35)
EW-83F (24-70)
EW-83BII (28-70)
EW-83DII (24)
EW-83CII (17-35)
EW-83E (10-22 and 16-35)

Search for EW-83 on B&H and they all come up, with pictures. You can
see that the eBay hood is not the proper hood for the 10-22.

It seems the eBay auction is ended, and the photo is gone.

I'll put up pictures of the one I received, which has been on the lens
since I received it. You'll be able to see it is inscribed "EW-83".

I have made numerous photos with the 10-22 lens at its widest FOV, and
there is no evidence of the hood encroaching on the view. It seems to me
there is no wider lens the hood would fit. If it is sold for the other
lenses, it must offer them less "protection" than it does for the 10-22.

I think it takes a remarkable eye to distinguish between the 83II and
83E on the basis of Web photos I've been able to find.

Any road, if the hood Don receives is not approprate for his 10-22 lens,
I'll buy it from him, or swap for the one they sent me. I'm perfectly
happy with it. Some day, when Canon starts making the 83E again, I'll
put one of these side-by-side with it. _Then_ we'll know.

It's still there. Search for EW-83.

"http/cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=30060&item=3871373868&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW#ebayphotohosting"

The Canon one for the 10-22 is the EW-83E at:

"http/www.bhphotovideo.com/images/items/239651.jpg"

The Canon one for the 20-35 is the EW-83II at:

http/www.bhphotovideo.com/images/items/162038.jpg

You can see a distinct difference. I'm sure that it will be okay, but I
think Canon must make the different shapes for a reason.

The difference is very clear to me.

I can see the difference in the hood at B&H and the one that I ordered from
the E-bay site, but I'm not sure how radical the difference is. The top
portion of the Canon hood is larger and more rounded than that on the E-bay
hood. This would result in the Canon hood providing more shielding than the
E-bay hood, but it doesn't appear that there would be any interference.
I'll post here when I get the hood tomorrow and let you know how it turned
out.

Frank,

Thanks for the offer, but I am confident that the hood will be OK. As I
posted to Scharf-DCA, I can see the difference in the two hoods, but the
only drawback would be that the E-bay hood would provide a little less
shielding than the Canon hood.

I know that Canon probably adequately tested the 83E, but since I cannot
find anyone who has this hood, I am wondering if they might have stopped
production in order to re-design it due to some flaw. I have used several
search engines and can find no one who has the Canon hood. .
