However, you can purchase a Sigma 10-22 or a Canon 10-22 which produce AMAZING results. The canon will run you about 700 after shipping and the sigma will be about 150 dollars cheaper. In the used market they range from 525-650. Some reviews put the sigma over the canon but if you can buy the Canon get it. Otherwise for the money the Sigma is the way to go and many photographers can't justify the extra 150 dollars.

I don't think he said anything about EF. Canon did make a Canon FD 55mm 1.2 that can be modded to FD EOS mount adaptor thought.
