If they made a 10mm F/2 I'd probably sell my 12mm F/2 and 9-18. I prefer primes and the 9-18 isn't really that good at what zooms are good for, which is walking around. I like the focal length but the 9-18 isn't really sharp enough for me unfortunately.

I like the 9-18mm for walking around. Had it on today as 2 of my teaching partners & I toured a printing co. When I needed to get everyone & some big machinery, wide-body printers & such, + 3 or so people in the shot, 9mm was great. When I wanted to get some closer 1 or 2 shots, the 18mm (35mm in FF) worked well, too. For walk around, IQ, to ME, is secondary to shot composition. Of course, if there was a better choice around 10mm I'd I'd jump on it. That's about my personal favorite UWA focal length. Love the old 20mm ƒ/2.8 on my D610.
