jmardy's shot is an excellent one for demonstrating just how wide the 10-22 lens is, but I suspect it has more impact for somebody who's actually been there and knows what this scene looks like naked-eye.
As I recall, jmardy, you have a similar shot taken from the same spot at the long end (22mm)? That would be closer to the "normal" perspective, and might be a good image to show just for comparison's sake.

Sorry for the repeat... I haven't had much opportunity to get out and shoot lately. Hopefully I'll have some new shots to post within a few weeks. For now -- all of these were taken at 10mm using the Canon 10-22 on a 20D.
It is a natural effect due to the very nature of rectilinear lenses. It exists at all focal lengths, but becomes exponentially more pronounced at focal lengths below 24mm on a full-frame camera or below 15mm on an APS-C sensor.
It is a result of the extreme perspective afforded by these lenses, and any 12mm rectilinear lens on a full-frame camera would show the same thing.

I see just a tiny weeny bit of light fall off in the corners of this shot opensob. Interesting to see. What body was this taken on? I haven't noticed any fall off with the 10-22 images I've seen so far....
I'm going to be deciding between the two later this year. I have heard very good things about both of them. Your shot is very cool. The clouds really bring it together.

All shots have been on a DReb and quite a few of my 12mm shots have fall off. In addition, some of the shots have an odd color cast to the sky, almost as if a weird polarizing action is taking place:

it's a fresh take on an overphotographed subject. thanks very much!
