This little lens, the 10-18 mm STM zoom, does everything it's supposed to do and does it well. Still, I rarely use it. I don't do Real Estate photography, interiors and such, and at my age I rarely get to the alpine outlooks that feature sweeping vistas. In other words, I don't have a lot of use for this lens. With that in mind, it really does live up to the reviews which are excellent wherever you look. Images are sharp and clear. It really does get wide views, wider than my other lenses by a lot. It's easy to use and I've had no glitches with it at all. Still though, with my 60D and 70D, I use my 18-135 mm Nano and 70-300 mm Nano a lot. They're versatile, crisp, and no fuss or bother. It's more a function of what I shoot than anything else. The 10-18 is a great lens at a terrific price for someone that needs ultra wide capability. Even though I don't use mine much at all I'm considering keeping it. For special purposes it's great. It didn't cost much at all. It doesn't take up much space either. Who knows? I may find myself at the top of Mount Tam at sunset and need a wide angle. It always seems that right after I part company with something that I never use, the next week I need the darn thing. In the end, It does what it's supposed to do, is easy to use, seems well made, and is very reasonably priced. Do you actually have a need for an ultra wide lens? Darned if I know. If you get one and find out that you don't it does retain its value. Check it out. There's virtually no risk. Read full review

It’s not quite what I wanted, but for the value it’s a great buy. I wish Canon would make a 21mm prime lens. Oh well, I love this one. Great for indoor rooms and outdoor wide angle landscapes.

Plastic housing, but that means it doesn't weight much, which is a good thing when you're hauling around equipment, especially for older folks. My guess is this would be terrific for doing video. I bought it for a friend who wanted to shoot video. I tried it out for stills and found it very satisfying. I have lots of equipment, various brands, but I would not hesitate to buy this lens again for myself. The price and value are much better than paying 2-3X as much for a Fuji or Nikon lens of similar focal length or even the Canon 11-22 for the M series. I have one of those and it's quite sharp and has a metal body, but if I had it all to do over, I'd probably go this route.

Too early to tell 100% but so far I am very happy with this lens. It is WIDE and sharp. It has a lot of plastic which is ok as this lens is priced accordingly. The IS works great making up for the not so wide aperture. The Bokeh is not great in my opinion but I still need more time to play with it. It has some vignetting which is to be expected on a lens this wide. Lightroom has built in correction for this lens and it works great. It's awesome to be able to get so much into the frame. Sometimes it's almost too much, especially when I'm used to my other lenses which only went to 24mm. Tree branches, and other things that usually wouldn't be a problem with a normal lens on a crop camera all come into view with this bad boy. This lens is an incredible deal really. If I lost it I would buy another one. Quickndone has the best deal on the internet and I highly recommend buying from them.Read full review

I bought this lens to be specifically used with a Canon T6s that has been modified for full spectrum use. (IR photography) It is sharp, focuses quietly with the STM design(good for video use) .so far no indication of IR hot spots in the center of the image. The only disappointment is the manual focus method. Good lens in general,though for a reasonable price.
