Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM

Is anyone else interesting in the new canon lens being released?

I'm in the market for a wide angle lens and this looks perfect. Althought will it perform well in low light due to the high F stop?

There aren't many UWA lenses for crop sensors and none of them are really designed for low light. The Tokina is F2.8 but 11-16mm isn't much of a range.

I'd be interested in this if I didn't already have the 10-22mm lens already. I guess it depends on how it performs against the 10-22mm because if it's a lot better than I could still be interested but I'd be surprised if there was much difference.

Low light, just use a tripod!

Maybe the 10-22. Will drop in price a little after the release of this lens?

Longer exposures don't really help with anything that movies High ISO/Wide apertures are the only remedies for that unless you want to start flashing stuff or turning more lights on!

I don't think the 10-22mm will drop in price tbh since this new one is supposed to fit in with the other budget lenses like 17-55mm stm kit lens and the 50-250mm stm. I guess if this new lens is miles better then prices could drop a bit but I suspect it won't be better.

If the launch price of £299 drops to around £220, which I suspect it might, this lens will be snapped up. If it's anything like the 55-250mm in IQ, then it will be well worth it even for casual use.
