Has anyone tried the Canon 10-22 EFS?

Someone will probably test it before I do but we are getting in a test camera before the end of the month. I have only Nikon glass but someone I work with has the 10-22 so I'll test it out and check back to post some samples.

Awesome! I'm waiting for the camera too (anyone else feel like we're on a giant lifeboat?), so I'll test my 10-22 when I get the BMCC if no one else gets to it first.

I believe there have been previous threads here discussing this lens. Have a look.

I did search for it, but the forum search tool is, frankly, lacking. Try searching for "Canon 10-22" or "Canon 10-22mm" and see what comes up.

I found this (I suspect some of this info may change with new BMCC firmware releases):

Yes, it could be great to have a sticky post with all the lenses threads/reviews linked inside. Im a bit lost now... And this just started xD

Hey on the link it says the 10-22mm efs works,

doesn't work on mine, no iris control,

just stuck it on again to try no luck, hope it is fixed in next firmware update

Agree with Albert 100%. Need a sticky asap.

You can add the canon 70-200mm f/4 in having no iris control. Not happy about it.

I just received my Nikon 10-24mm F3.5-4.5. It produces tack sharp pictures even wide open on my 16 MP D7000 so it should be plenty enough for the 3.2 MP BMCC. I pixelpeeped a little and chromatic aberations or flares are much less pronounced than on the tokinas I tested.

F3.5 is available at 10-11 mm than F3.8 until 14mm.

I don't have my MFT model yet (obviously) but I have tried my 10-22 on my redrock livelens and it does iris control. So if you need the 10-22 that would be one way I can guarantee will work.

I just tried one on mine (need a wide for a music video shoot on Sun) and it cannon control the iris. It is sharp however at infinity (unlike my tokina 11-16mm which is why I am borrowing off a friend. Guess I shall have to use it wide open.

You could always take a Canon body with you. Set the aperture on the Canon body, remove the lens and fit it to the BMCC. It's not ideal but you would at least be able to work with apertures other than wide open.

Thanks for the tip Adam!

Canon lenses automatically reset the aperture during each exposure. The lens is always wide open unless the camera tells it otherwise during Live View or when the shutter is triggered.

Learned this the hard way when shooting a timelapse and the exposure varied from frame to frame causing an obnoxious flicker during playback.
