It sucks not doubt, because your M lenses are no compatible, but that is life, deal with it.

Whenever I start to get bummed I go to the R forum and read and my R camera desires seem to go away.

For real, not kidding.

I don’t regret moving to R. In fact, it has been great, very satisfied with this gear.

It feels like I finally can settle for years with one camera, the R10.

Looks like you held onto enough EF lenses to make the R10 quite a workable proposition. The pancake lenses and that EF-S 10-18 are quite good and should give good images on the R10.

I got the EF-S 10-18 and the EF-S 24 recently during the last Canon fire sale, excellent timing to make the transition cheaper, got these two to replace the EF-M 11-22 and the 22 spots, but not quite.
Those M lenses are sharper and have less vignetting from my own tests. I still have my M gear, but my goal now it to simplify down to one camera and stick with it longer, to fully master it.

You've got the 'hybrid' transitional kit I was talking about with some EF-M and RF-S. That RF-S 18-150 can sure do a lot, I think that was a great lens for Canon to start off with on R, it would have been my first choice.

Yes, the 18-150 was a great choice when deciding what type of kit to get, it is pretty good, but sort of jack of all trades, master of none.

Currently, my least favorite lens is the EF-S 10-18 but I can get by using it until I find a higher quality option, in that pursuit I also got the Tokina 11-20 f2.8 a new found gem, it came really close to becoming the definite UWA choice. I had a really hard time deciding this, it is a great bright lens with character but with some compromises, I think I fell in love with it over time, something realistic about its images despite some flaws but I ended up returning it getting the RF16 f2.8 as a temporary stop-gap.
In less than a month I managed to get a R kit with lenses covering from 10mm to 400mm for around $2,000, no bad.
