I'm thinking about getting the Canon 10-18mm STM lens to play with but being a long time beginner, will there be a noticeable difference from the bottom end of my 17-85mm that came with my 50D?

I hope my question makes sense.

Lord yes!

The numbers may be smaller, but they are more dramatic. For example, there's not much difference between 85mm and 100mm on the short telephoto end. But there is a HUGE difference between 10mm and 17mm, even if the focal length is only half the difference as in the tele example. A 10-18 will open up an whole new "wide" world!
