Well I took the plunge and bought the 10-18 STM on my birthday yesterday. For the price this lens is a little gem! Yes it has a plastic mount but its so light it doesn't matter, yes it does suffer from flare so always use a hood, its is extremely sharp across the frame at f10 where I am shooting mainly. There is some distortion at 10mm but nothing that cant be fixed now that there is a lens profile. It is a really fun lens too
