I want a wide zoom somewhere around that range to compliment my 18-150mm m mount, i have a few primes like a 7.5mm 9mm and 22mm, the zoom will be a walk around / scouting lens. i'm leaning towards the 11-22mm unless there are any faster zooms in that range, i mostly do closer up middle ground stuff so its not specifically for long distance wide but getting alot more in closer up. also is the 10-18 s lens actually inside the range of the 11-22 m ? i ask as i'm not totally sure of the characteristics of the ef-s lenses. thanks
I got to admit that I know next to nothing about these lens. But there are a couple of other options that you may want to throw into the mix. There is the Sigma 8-16mm f4.5-5.6.

I have the Canon 10-18 and it's great. I use it mainly for real-estate work. I just took a couple of shots 10mm and 18mm in the garden. This is the result. Here's the Little Gem Magnolia tree at 10mm from 2.5 metres away. Here is the flower with a bee detaching the anthers from the stamen. After a while the tepals/petals drop to the ground - oh joy! 10mm - This is what's left after the bees attack and the petals drop. 18mm
i went with the ef-m 11-22mm in the end, mostly for the body size as its native to my M50 and its going to be a companion lens, if i find myself doing alot of stuff with those focal lengths i might think about getting a faster prime etc. the 10-18 does look like a nice lens also, i have had my eye on it before. thanks for the input guys
