Hi all

A recent trip to Italy with my widest lens being the 18-55mm kit lens has proven to me that I need a wider lens for my travel kit.

So I am looking at either the EF-S 10-18 or 10-22mm adapted onto an M50. I am tempted by the EF-M 11-22 and its size BUT it's quite a bit more expensive and i don't really want any more M lenses, in case Canon mothballs the system.

I have other DSLRs as well that I can fit the EF-S lenses on, so that is much more future proof\ adaptable.

I like the 10-22s larger range and increased speed at the wide end - but as I understand it is an old lens and suffers quality wise quite a bit.

Thoughts?

11-22 is way better

I gave away my 10-18

I had the EF-s 10-22 and used it adapted on my M50ii. I sold it this summer and replaced it with the EF-m 11-22. IQ is approximately the same. The EF-s is a little bit brighter but not much, and you often shoot that lens @ f/8. The EF-m has IS, and that is important. Most important for me was size. I always travel with 2 cameras: the M50ii with EF-m 11-22 for the wide angles and my RP or 6D for the rest.

we are similar

in my case, m6II + 32 + 11-22

and then RP or 6d for the rest

M50ii with EF-m 11-22 is very very small and very light. The adapted EF-s is big on camera and also in the bag. I added the Sigma EF-m 30mm f/1.4 so M50ii has a lot of use! These 2 lenses alone justify the M50ii. This setup is relatively cheap.

So my advice: M50ii with EF-m 11-22. You will love it the next 10 years. Forget EF-s : increased speed and wider angle was not the most important for me. Perhaps you will buy an R10/R7 in the future. Then you can keep EF-m 11-22 for the wide angle as a complement to your R10/R7. R10/R7 does not have good wide angle solution... (yet...)
