name that lens

A story of lions attacking a camera... it's the daily mail so accuracy is not their strong point.

Clearly it's a 40D (which looks suprisingly undamaged).. but what's the lens?

10-22?

10-22?

If I was photographing lions with a 10-22 mm lens I'd expect to get eaten, never mind the camera.

But you'd learn from the experience and do better next time. ;D

But seriously, here's the caption of one of the images:

The photo-tourist had set his camera up on a tripod to take remote-control pictures of the pride.

I would go with the 10-22 also.

From the story:

This was the moment another photographer on the safari got the idea to try to take a picture of the lions from very close with a landscape lens.
'But the photographer didn't anticipate how curious the lions are.
'When they saw the strange thing they all moved towards it.

There's the smoking gun. Right there. Wanted close-ups with a landscape lens. Didn't anticipate the lions moving in.

Isn't that a wired shutter release hanging down in one photo?

Hi,
I am not an expert but to me, it looks more like a Nikon lens!
Maybe someone with better eyes can say.

This is a very crucial question because we then can say which one taste better

 

[Rams_eos]

Sorry, I missed the last image of the session!

Yup, definitely the canon Ef-s 10-20

We know it's a canon lens by the last picture of the mangled camera+ lens. That eliminates a lot of possibilities. Looking at the profile and rings of the lens in the other pics, (especially the 3rd picture) it matches the 10-20 exactly.

Looks like an EF-S 10-22 to me.
