Good stuff...I think I will save my pennies for the 16-35LIS. But for 10mm, I didn't see anything that my EF-M 11-22 can't do just as well. Cheers.

It wasn't meant to replace the EF-M 11-22 or compete with it. It was designed as a good quality inexpensive UWA for crop sensor DSLRs. The quality of the EF-M 11-22 is insignificant for users of the 100D, 700D, 70D, 7D, etc. The quality of the EF-S 10-18 is important.

But it is significant for EOS M users, as they now have another choice as they can use the EF-S 10-18 via an adaptor or buy the EF-M 11-22

If you have the adaptor, then the 10-18 is not only cheaper, but it is at least officially available in the USA.

PQ wise, the EF-M 11-22 will win from what I have seen so far. But for cost, versatility and availability, the EF-S 10-18 wins.  So it isn't a straightforward choice, for the EOS M user at least.
