Thanks for letting me know, it should be fixed now!

You’re welcome Aggelos, thanks for the comment. Glad to hear you’re giving the 10-22 another shot!

I bought my first camera, a 400D and the 10-22 in a similar lapse to Gear syndrome, for the sole purpose of wide-angle landscape photograpy. I have by now outgrown the use and the camera but what I find even more restrictive is the low image quality of the 17-85. It can be ok if you stay in the sweet spots, but never great.

Recently my 17-85 was under repair for a defective diaphragm and I chose the 70-200 and the EF 50 for a light-weight solo weekend detour to Marakech. It was fun.
Did I miss many 70-200 shots for fear of attracting more attention ? Oh, did I. I missed the best ones, the cult shots where more discrete gear or a less indiscrete operator would make a difference. Felt just like the Pope in the ghetto indeed.

Did I manage some worth-while shots with the 70-200 that I wouldn’t otherwise catch: You bet.

And should I regret skipping the 10-22 for the trip ? At the time I suspected so. After reading your article I am pretty certain. I will be looking for a new angle in the wide, thanks for sharing.

Hi Athena, thanks for the kinda words. Enjoy the Sigma!

I found you through Google. I have the 18-55mm + 55-250mm combination too, but never use the latter and want something wider than the former. Consequently, I use my 50mm much more. Thanks for the rec about the Sigma because I thin that is where I’ve been leaning towards as well.
