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.

Wrong. I own a 650D. It does matter, and it does make a difference to me. For someone in my shoes who also owns an M--and I am not the only one--the new lens offers on paper nothing over the other lens except 10mm and price, but since I already own the other lens price is removed from the equation.
