Is there any wide or ultra-wide angle lens out there that you would recommend? Something in the 14-18mm range for APS-C?

The 10-18mm STM IS. Don't let the price fool you: it's a very nice lens. I don't think you could improve on it without going with FF body and L lens.

I second the above statement. I recently purchased the EF-S 10-18mm and am kicking myself for not buying it much earlier. It performs well above its price point.

Thirded (if thats a real word). Amazed a lens so cheep can produce such good images. This lens made me realise that Canon have a good thing going with their STM line.
