I bought an EF-S 10-22mm lens but found myself after composing and maybe a couple test shots, sticking my 18-200 back on. I often find trying to get all the landscape in the shot just creates a boring generic photo.
I now spend a while enjoying the view, with my camera in the bag and looking for the area that best describes the scene (usually the bit you keep looking at over and over again). I then photograph just that one beautiful part of the landscape. Its make a more interesting picture in my opinion.
I find the scale and beauty of the scene we see while standing there just doesn’t transfer onto a picture a lot of the time (maybe I’m just not a good enough photographer though).
I’d be lying if I said I don’t use the 10-22 but I don’t really need it and it’s a lot of cash for something I use so little.
I recommend looking for shots that don’t need less than 18mm (most shots don’t) and when you've got too much cash, then get one.
