An easy one for me. I shoot WAY more images with the 75-300. Static landscapes, the first thing some of us think of as a use for the 9-18, are easy to capture with stitched shots from a less wide lens. They often require more than the FOV of 18 mm eq. anyway, and panoramas with a super wide are a problem, 'cause the anamorphic effects make stitching trickier. All you have to do is sweep across a landscape @ 9 mm and watch everything move around, to see that a few more shots with a shorter lens is a better bet.

The super wides are more about perspective, close quarters and things that move 
too much for panorama shots.

Plus the 9-18 is $100 more. Tough choice. Eventually I want both, though, which 
would give me pretty much gapless coverage from 9-300 in native u43 glass.

That IS fun!
