A standard 18-55mm kit lens, for most photography opportunities will cope more than adequately. However, sometimes a few extra millimetres could make a world of difference to your photographs, especially on cropped (APS-C) sensored cameras. That panoramic vista, a little extra width on your environmental portrait or reaching the top of that building for a more dramatic composition.
If travelling, you also need to ensure that not only you take a small and lightweight lens, not only do you need to cover all the focal lengths you wil need to maximise picture opportunity. Canon’s 10-22mm EF-S lens is just such a lens, it has been designed and optimised for crop frame sensors and it is ultrawide-angle. Tests on this optic have shown it to be a solid performer, punching above its weight optically, with low levels of aberration and distortion. It has Canon’s renowned USM focusing system, for fast, near-silent auto focus (AF), and is well put together too.
This is one of the most popular Canon lenses for hire at LensLocker, and with costs starting at just £24 for three days, why not treat yourself and give it a try? They also have a range of Sigma and Nikon lenses, flashes, tripods, memory cards and other photographic equipment for rent.
