Does this lens fit a full-frame Canon body?

No. It is an EF-S lens and only mounts on Canon APS-C bodies such as the Rebel, 70D, 80D and 90D. It will not mount on full-frame EF bodies.

Is $279 a good price for it?

Yes. New copies have long sold for roughly $650-$700, so $279 at Adorama as of November 7, 2026 is a deep discount. Check that the listing is new, not used or gray market.

What is the full-frame equivalent focal length?

On Canon's 1.6x APS-C crop it behaves like a 16-35mm lens on full frame, which is a true ultra-wide zoom.

Does it come with a lens hood?

Listings include the bayonet lens hood. The lens takes 77mm filters, sold separately.

Can I use extension tubes with it?

Yes. Canon lists the EF12 II and EF25 II extension tubes as compatible, which lets you focus closer for near-macro work.

How does it compare with the EF-S 10-18mm?

The 10-18mm is smaller, lighter and cheaper and adds image stabilization, but it has a slower f/4.5-5.6 aperture and a plastic mount. The 10-22mm is faster, has USM and a metal mount, and is the better-built lens.

What reviewers say

4.7 / 51,300 ratings

Owners rate it highly, with 4.7 out of 5 from about 1,300 ratings. Most praise the sharpness, the wide field of view and the fast, quiet USM autofocus. Complaints center on the slow maximum aperture, the lack of stabilization and the size and cost of 77mm filters.

What people mention

SharpnessPraisedOwners say it is sharp across the frame once stopped down to f/5.6 or f/8.
AutofocusPraisedThe ring-type USM is described as fast, quiet and accurate, with easy manual override.
ApertureCriticisedThe f/3.5-4.5 maximum aperture is called limiting for low light and subject separation.
StabilizationCriticisedBuyers note there is no image stabilization, which hurts handheld shots in dim light.
FiltersMixedThe 77mm thread takes common filters but they are costly and a polarizer can vignette at 10mm.
BuildPraisedOwners describe the barrel and zoom ring as solid and smooth for a non-L lens.
