Sample Shots
Ok, finally here're some sample shots taken with the EOS 350D. The mountain sceneries were
kindly provided by Rainer Deissler (straight JPEGs). The others scenes were RAW-converted
using RSE.
Click on a thumbnail to view the original file (opens in a separate window). Please note that the full-size
images are supplied in JPEG2000 format. You should be able to display the images in most modern imaging
applications such as Photoshop. This is a measurement to limit the bandwidth which is a scarce resource.
If you prefer to watch the full-size samples in your Internet Explorer browser you may try the
JPEG2000 ActiveX Control (Windows) plug-in.
I've checked out a few plug-ins for Mozilla/Opera but haven't really found a good one. Firefox will
open IE if you install the ActiveX Control above.

VerdictThe Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM delivered a very sound performance with a combination
of very decent build quality and very good if not impressive optical results. If anything
vignetting at wide-open aperture could be better. The center performance is excellent throughout
the range with generally good borders. The level of distortions is surprisingly low and CAs
are quite well controlled.
Naturally it makes sense to compare the lens to a serious competitor like the Tokina AF 12-24mm f/4 AT-X
Pro DX. All in all the resolution figures are very similar. The Canon has less CAs and a better contra
light performance whereas the Tokina shows less vignetting. The build quality of the Tokina is also
a little better (the Canon is more than "good enough" though) and finally the Tokina is substantially cheaper
(420 EUR vs 670 EUR locally).
So which one to choose ? Well ... that's still up to you. :-)
