I have the 10-18 EFS that I use on the adapter. I'm not too worried about the size of the lens, I wont be capturing people really, just things we se on our journeys. I was just thinking the f1.4 would produce a sharper less noisy image, unless you think IS with a longer exposure time would do all the same.

the f1.4 @ f1.4 is sharp in the center, but across the frame, for scapes (stills), yes, you'll want to stop down and use a longer exposure - the 16 doesn't have IS which is the issue when stopping down in darkness - so the 11-22 with IS will win handheld

yes, a longer exposure with the 11-22 would work

I gave away my 10-18 to get the 11-22 so I'm bias on IQ across the frame
