With the Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM, APS-C camera owners have a cheaper alternative to the 10-22mm. There are already a number of superb lenses in this popular range, but this is a welcome addition from Canon and is garnering much attention from photographers who shoot landscapes and architectural images, in particular. Also, the inclusion of STM technology should pique the interest of any APS-C-format DSLR video makers, too.
