    There is no way those images are shot with 10-22mm. An ultra wide lens would create distortion, plus there are no lenses that wide that can produce images that sharp.

    I'd guess somewhere between 35-50mm, assuming it was shot on an APS-C or 35mm DSLR.

    @idiots is right, fixed lenses provide better definition. But not because they are faster. They are generally made with fewer elements and better glass. Even if you have a fast fixed lens, like a 50mm f1.8, 1.4 or 1.2, you will still get sharper results shooting at f8. Not all fixed lenses are spectacular, but many are. Most fixed lenses are sharper than most zooms. It is rare to see a zoom lens produce better results than a fixed focal length.

    • some $2000+ zooms are sharp, but so are $300 non-zoom lenses....vaxorcist
