Ooops! I only meant to release one video today, not two...enjoy, everybody :-)

Thank you! I'd love to see the opposite now - 55-250 stm - and how it performs on the R7.

Love those re-visits because the perspective what is good changes as we discover new and better gear. I bought all of my lenses after checking your reviews and Im happy that 10-18mm still delivers on the new R cameras :)

I actually used this lens recently for a real-estate photography job, at f/8 the image quality is more than good enough for web images. And the zoom range is just about perfect for that kind of work.

I have one of these 10-18mm lenses when I had my Canon M5. It's a very under-rated lens that gave me many excellent wide-field shots. Quite a lot of manufacturers could learn a lot from this lens.

As a new R7 owner myself, I really appreciate these videos since they give me lens ideas I may not have otherwise thought of.

The fact that this delivers good sharpness on a 32mp sensor is seriously impressive. Crazy to think the optical design is nearly 10 years old! Seriously ahead of its time. The EF-S lineup from canon in the 2010s was seriously good. If I go onto the R7 (I am planning to buy a new body this year) it'll be thanks to these lenses!

Thanks Christopher, i had hoped you might revisit some previous lenses with the R7 and i am delighted you have. I really like the way you produce the videos because you follow the same format each time which makes lens comparisons for us consumers much easier. Your videos for lens reviews are my first stop.

I love these R7 re-reviews. And I was just about to purchase this lens based on your previous videos but was wondering about adapting it to the R7. Thanks for the great review Mr Frost, you’re the best!

I’ve used this lens for press photography. It’s an extremely useful tool when it is important for the photographer to be discreet and not draw attention to themselves -- without sacrificing image quality. Don't be put off by the plastic mount -- the images look superb on a 32 megapixel 90D sensor!

Christopher, these old / new combos are really cool! Thank you!

I bought this lens mainly because of your review for my EOS M Magic Lantern rig last year. I use it for landscape and even light astrophotography even on manual focusing and with a mount adapter. It is truly a gem. Thank you so much for revisiting and adopting it to the R7. Bless you.

I'll never get tired of these r7 test. Also because I have one too and I love it. Thanks for making these videos :)

Thank you very much. Your Re-Reviews with the R7 are very helpfull for me!!! More of that!

Hey Christopher, I’m here before this video gets thousands of views, I just want to say, thank you. You have made me purchase many lenses for my new 90D, and I must say, I love them. Anytime one one of my friends ask me about a lens, I always point to your channel. I’m very happy you take time to buy these lenses, go through the work to test it, then edit it. Great job man, your channel is awesome.

This is a great review and follow up with the newer mirrorless bodies. I’m looking to upgrade to an R7 and have this and some other EF-S lenses. Due to the limited options on RF for crop sensors at the moment, it’d be great to see some more of these revisits for other older EF-S lenses. I’d vote for the 18-135 STM, because I have one of those haha

Thanks for these re-reviews !! Are definitely very useful

Nice DSLR APSC lens review for R7, Chris, good job ! Please retest other lens like EF-S 24mm 2.8 STM, EF-S 55-250 IS STM, EF-S 18-135mm IS STM, Tamron 17-35mm F2.8-4, etc. Thank you in advance 😄

I have this lens and have adapted it to a Fujifilm X H2s with the Sigma adapter. Works flawlessly and the images are outstanding. The reviews online from various resellers across the internet rate this lens 4.7 or higher from thousands of sales so that says how fantastic this lens is.

You are a total life saver Man🎉 you have no idea how helpful was ur videos in my photography life😊😊😊😊

I'm so glad this review made it to my feed! I own this lens and body but have not done a lot with it. It's been horribly dull and overcast for the past several weeks so I haven't taken this wide angle lens out for a fair spin. I'm looking forward to it now!

Thanks for the review! It’s very helpful to see different options for the R7. I’m trying to find a balance between cost and image quality for both stills, and video.

I've loved this lens ever since I got it for Christmas a few years back. It's my favorite paired with a flash when my friends and I get together for events!

Keep the R7 reviews coming! Just heard you mention that... we love all your videos!

Clicked the liked button on the start of the video! More re-visited lens reviews please!

Your reviews are great, concise and accurate. Could you please do the new canon rfs 10-18 and compare it to the proven efs 10-18? Thanks much!

Great review as always, thank you. If you have time I would love to see how the canon ef-s 15-85mm does on the R7. Its one of my favorite apsc lens.

Thanks Chris. Just what I was looking for.

Hi there :) I am glad that pro photographer like you is not above ye olde simple lenses of old canon days. I am using EF-S 10-18, 24/2.8, 55-250 IS STM with my old 100D/SL1 body as phantastic super light and unnoticable city backpack set. Love your videos and would like to see 55-250 re-review in this series!

Keep them coming!

I would like to see a re-review of the Canon EF-S 55-250mm IS STM, with some focus on the AF on mirrorless, too! In general, I think many people have the Canon “kit” lenses so seeing how they perform on newer bodies, like the R7, is interesting. Keep it up!

Great job as always.

I took my most favorite photo with this little WAL, and also photo, which people like the most was taken with it, just a lovely one.

I purchased this years ago after finding your channel. I love this on both the M50 and M6 MkII

Great little lens! I used to use it on the EOS R to get around the 4K crop, and it work very well. Managed to get decent hand held footage too, even though the EOS R didn't have sensor stabilisation.

Thanks for reviewing this lens I need to get one now

Nice re-review, Chris. I am using this lens onto my 40D, 50D, since i've bought it into ca. 2014. It was way cheap, and since it's no F3.5-4.5, the IS makes up for that.

I have owned this lens for some time and as an experiment tried it out with my new R7 (plus adapter) and like you I am very surprised and delighted with the results from this inexpensive Lens and its performance.

My favourite and most used lens ever. I use this to shoot interior, architecture, and even weddings.

Excellent review, thank you.

I agree with all that is said here. I am using the same lens (bought secondhand on-line for less than £100) but with a Viltrox adaptor to the R7 camera and it works 100% in all functions. Helluva good setup.

I kept this lens for a backup Canon EOS 77D. I made some pro pictures last fall in the vineyards, and it performed perfectly. For the price and weight it is truly an incredible deal.

I purchased a used version of this lens for my IR Sony A6100 last Christmas. For IR, it is a nice little lens with no hot spots wide open. I adapted it with a Metabones EF to FE v4 adapter

Fantastic thanks Chris! I think I'm not the only one who'd love to see how the very old ef's 17-55 F:2.8 IS USM performs on the R7.

Can’t wait for you to do the EF-S 55-250mm

These re-tests are very useful, thank you. Especially for those of us who blew our budget buying an r7! I recently bought an older tokina 11-16 f2.8 as there are limited choices for the wide end on an r7 and it seems to be working a treat! The 10-18 is just a little too dark for Aurora/Astro. I'd be interested to see what you made of the combination if you have a chance.

Thanks for the review! With so many decent EF and EF-S lenses out there, most hobbyists won't need to pay extra for the RF lenses.

This lens is such a bargain! Such value for money! Love to use it with my Canon EOS M50!

Great video as always. As a R7 and EF-S 10-18 mm lens owner, I was quite happy to see I could justify keeping that lens and use it with an adapter. The 32.5 megapixels of that camera allow me to crop images without any significant loss in resolution which gives me some flexibility in terms of lens choice, I suppose.

Thank you for this review! I have this lens on the 90D, which has the same sensor as the R7, and I always wondered if these lower end EF-S lenses are sharp enough for that sensor. Now I know at least one of my lenses is! :)

Excellent review! I hope you test other old lenses on new cameras.

Having recently gotten an R7 these reviews are perfect!

I got this lens on sale right after it came out. Hard to beat for the price.

This quickly became one of my favorite lenses back in my days of shooting with the Rebel T3i. Up until that point I had not bothered with an ultra-wide due to them not really being in abundance on crop cameras and their cost just wasn't appealing to me at that time. This one stepped in at that 300 USD price point and turned out to be a good performer. The lightweight made it easy to keep with me, and the wide angle of view made for some fun compositions combined with that close focus. Its still the lens I most commonly suggest to people on crop sensor Canon cameras. As a side note, it has always disappointed me how a faster version of lenses like this was never made by Canon. An F2.8 model in the same style as the EF-S 17-55mm F2.8 IS USM would have been a welcome addition to the line up for those that just wanted something more and didn't want to have to get a full frame setup that would add not only cost but a lot of weight too. As it stands, I know of only two AF lenses with an F2.8 constant aperture that have a similar zoom range, the Tokina 11-16mm F2.8 and 11-20mm F2.8. Canon just never took their crop series all that seriously, and I while I realize a lens like this would likely still be the more preferred to the budget minded, I think there are a lot of enthusiast out there that want a faster version of lenses like this and would put the money into it. Even though I am now much more invested into full frame setups, I still keep a crop setup as it is lighter overall for those times where I just don't need my L glass. The 10-18mm goes in that bag, and my back is much happier when I am out walking around for 8 or so hours at a time.

This lens is a surprising little powerhouse. Very great quality for the affordability!

Love love love these reviews as an R7 owner.

Have this one and did use it also on my R7. Would really like to see an 11mm RF-S f1.8 image stabilised. That would be an awesome lense, lets cross fingers… Thanks for the review and yeah, can confirm your thoughts on the lens, thanks to your mother in law. Not getting sick at all of your reviews, keep them coming.

I have the same set. I am very happy with it.

As an R7 user, I really do appreciate these reviews. I do want to expand my lense lineup a bit. So far I have a 17-50 f2.8, the nifty fifty, 18-300mm f3.5-5.6, and a 150-600 f5.6-6.3. I also have the EFM 22mm f2 for my M50, that is one I'm waiting for the RF version of.

Got mine for $106 last year for a used copy. Went out to shoot a cycling race with this lens and I couldn’t be happier.. ultra wide angle + IS; great combo for panning shots as riders go by..

Thanks for reviewing this interesting lens paired with the R7. Even though I use my R7 predominantly for wildlife, I still do a fair bit of landscape photography with it. I've been looking for a lens that would be wider than the 18-150 mm kit lens, and that would be almost as sharp in the corners as in the center when paired with the R7. Again, thank you for your good work!!

Thanks a lot! it would be interesting to try 17-55 and 55-250stm...when will they decide to make new rf-s lenses????

Cool review, would love to see one for the EFs10-22 and the EFs 18-200 on the R7!!

I waited a while before making the jump to mirrorless and finally purchased the EOS R7 a couple of months ago. Since I already had a collection of EF mount lenses, including the 10-18 IS STM, I felt comfortable just buying a Canon adapter and using all my old lenses. So far, I have not been disappointed, especially with my 'L' lenses. (Actually my only disappointment so far is with my Tamron 18-400 lens, which is also the softest of my lenses on my DSLR bodies.) It will be quite a long time before I feel compelled to buy any RF mount lenses. Thanks for doing this review, which confirms my experiences so far.

Love the R7 reviews :-D

One amazing thing about this lens is its image circle coverage, making it a budget ultra wide full frame lens too. When I mount it with an adapter on a full frame camera and zoom in at around 14mm, the vignette becomes very acceptable. Also this lens is a hack to counter the 1.6x 4k crop on earlier RF mount cameras.

This is great to know because I believe that this qualifies this lens also for the canon 90D and for the canon eos M6 mKii unless there are more in camera corrections going on in the R7 (is this the case by the way?). These reviews dealing with the existing lenses adapted to high pixel density cameras are extremely useful. Other useful ones would be the EF-S 55-250 mm stm and the 2 EF-M zooms you recommended (EF-M 11-22mm and EF-M 50-200mm). These zooms cover all the basics and have not yet received the attention they deserve concerning their adaptability to high pixel APS-C density cameras

Wow! Can’t believe it’s that sharp! Maybe 18-55 EFS kit lens re-visit? 👍🏻

I recently had an opportunity to acquire either a Tokina 11 to 20 2.8 or this lens. Being that both lenses have great review from Chris, I looked at the pros and cons, and ultimately went with the Tokina for only $150 vs the Canon at $180 both used. I felt that the IS wasn't that important versus the extra light, since I don't do too much videos, and the extra light is more useful in darker situations, and at wider angles, IS is not too important, just need to increase the speed a little, but still keep the iso lower, and a full frame equivalent of 17.6 is plenty for super wide situations.

Good video ,thanks.

What a surprise. I was watching the original video of this lens just yesterday and wondering how it would perform in a mirrorless camera.

Not sick of old lenses on the r7. Thanks.

Thanks for your reviews. Could you test rfs 10-18?

MORE R7 TEST PLEASE!

Sick of these reviews? I love them. I get excited when you post reviews with the R7.

I Love the channel. I follow you since the your first year. Quick question. You used the EF-RF adaptor for the EF-S lens on the RF-S camera?

Can you please review the Ricoh GRIII or GRIIIx? It would be really interesting to see how that camera and its built-in lens would perform in your test.

Wow, your copy is significantly sharper than mine. I got it for my 80D (24MP) and was never all that happy with it, but it is soft even on my R6II in 1.6x crop mode (~9MP). Guess I had real bad luck with it.

I use this on my M6mk2 when my 16mm F1.4 sigma isnt quite wide enough. Its good. I would upgrade to the R7 for a bigger buffer but Im really happy with the pocketable size of the M6 so I'll keep it for now. Its my B camera for stills and I use it on a gimbal for videos. The 10-18 is always in my bag, doesnt get a lot of action to be honest but thats probably because I dont shoot a lot of ultra wide.

I'd appreciate reviews of super wide, manual focus options from third party makers. I understand that there will be no autofocus lenses for RF but there are several companies making primes in the 9-13mm range. A few are in RF but it seems odd that there are many more options even for EF-M.

The EF-S 10-18mm is useable *IF* I keep its titanic field curvature in check (center focus can be at infinity and corners more like 12 feet). The trick is to set the focus *much much much* farther out, stop down to f/8, and use the lens's deep depth of field to my advantage. Indoor photos are less of a problem (where the subject field is often curved to fit the lens). Adapting onto a 'cropped' MFT mount works well (crops the worst of the corners). MFT speed-boasting is not a good idea. FYI - I passed on the R7 because it shoots abysmally mushy UHD 60fps fullish-frame video using some sort of horrendous line-skipping process. Otherwise a great camera.

I need a wide lens. Good review.

Great video. How does the canon 10-18 compare to the ef-m 11-22 on the Canon m6 mark ii, since the r7 and m6 ii both have the 32.5 sensor?

Thanks for the video. Have you tested the EFs 10-22 mm on an R7 body yet? I would be interested to see the results.

This was the first lens that launched me as a camera specialist at a camera store

I used the 10-18 for several years mostly for interior photography. Had decent image quality. Two downsides for me were corner performance after corrections and nasty small green flares from ceiling spotlights I had to stamp out every time. Later replaced it with 17-40L on Eos RP. To me image quality is way better but price and weight doubles.

I miss this lens, i sold it and got the Tamron 10-24 and it is brighter and sharper in the corners but the Canon just had more character, not sure what it is but I took some of my best landscapes with it.

I have this lens, using with m6mkII (same resolution as R7), and yeah it's got OK image quality and very wide field of view.

A drawdown would be the low light capability. I'd like to see a comparison to the budget RF 16 lens.

LOVE the R7 reviews! Bit disappointed about my Canon 10-22mm 3.5 though :( Sounds like I needed the 10-18

Keep the R7 content coming. :)

Nice review. Other comments have listed lens but missed ef-s: 10-22 15-85 17-85 18-200 35 macro 60 macro Would be lovely to see how they perform on the R7

I've this setup works well until their new wide lens come but based on previous units may have huge barrel distortion and software corrections

Does the R7 not suffer from a new type optical low-pass filter my 7d mk 2 has been very good over the years I remember when you got your sony but I decided to stay with my canon however now I have decided to go for a Fujifilm camera as I have all my canon lenses.

Do you have a recommendation of a good sharp travel lens for Canon R7? Focal length up to around 100mm?

Use it with M6ii and BMPCC 4K for video. The color is very warm. It is soft when I try to shoot with some backlight. It just doesn't match well with the EFL lenses. It is a decent lens in optimal condition. But I find it quite lacking when I'm trying for more creative shots. But this video makes me want to give it one more try before buying a more expensive wide zoom. Because the other options are pricey!

Which one would u choose? this one or the 10-22 as you reviewed in another video?

Two videos in 2 mins....mans on fire

I'm a big fan of yours, Christ. as far as I recalled, It's been since 2018 .. So, in this series of EOS R7, could You review again the Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 OS HSM with EOS R7 ? Because this is one of my favorite lens with my Canon EOS Rebel T3i, Thank you .

Hi Mr Frost, is these combination of camera and lens is good for shooting wedding?
