If it is a mirrorless camera, you are overreacting.
If it is a OEM lens, you are overreacting.
If your camera is a DSLR, you are still overreacting.
I have been a professional photographer for over 40 years, and during that time I have won many awards and have done many shows, I have NEVER had to calibrate a lens to a camera yet.
In fact, many professionals caution amateur's to NOT try to calibrate a lens because most of the time they will make it worse.
Here is my advice, always shoot at 1/focal length of the lens, ie. if your lens is a 200 mm, then your minimum shutter speed should be 1/200 second.
Second, stop the lens down 2 or 3 stops, ie. if your lens is a 100mm 1.8 lens, then stop it down to f2.8 to f4.
Third, hold your camera steady using two hands, hold your elbows into your body, press the camera to your face, and breath out when you GENTLY press the shutter button.
If you do this then calibrating the lens will not improve your image quality.
If it is a mirrorless camera, you are overreacting... (show quote)

Have you tried seeing how it works yet?
Does it look good?
Do you need focusing accuracy down to a few millimeters?

I am led to believe that DuckDuckGo uses Google through an anonymous link so you get the same search without the tracking.

I usually get a lot more results with Google than Duck.

If something doesn't feel right,
it probably isn't.

My normal lens (on my APS-C camera) is 18-135mm, so NO, 18mm in not wide enough, that's why I have a 10-18mm wide-angle.

Your choice, for YOU.
I have an 18-200 on my APS-C camera,
I live with it...
My choice for ME.
If I HAVE to have wider, I'll shoot two shots and stitch or use the pano function on my phone.

If you need a loan on your property, you will generally do better with your local bank or credit union. These guys will hit you for fees and increases in charges regularly. Mark it as junk and never see it again.

If I need a loan on my property, I'm going to one of my banks,
NOT on the internet......

I never go anywhere without a wide-angle. You can always crop a wide-angle shot 'down', but you can't 'crop' a normal/telephoto image 'out.'

18 is not wide enough?
For you?

Unless I planned at sometime make very large art prints from my images, I would goo with just the 18-150, For normal use the images you make will be gppdenough. Travel light and enjoy the experience.

Then am I to understand that if one was to make a very large print, a different lens would be warranted?

"Calibrated Monitor" is just one of various mantras chanted by the adherents of UHH Sacred Traditions. As with most pink noise, you must adjust to ignoring it, cuz it never really goes away.

Dont worry that "maybe its only close".
"Only close" is what DoF is all about.

Its about whats good enuf on either side of perfect. Despite formulae and CoC standards, "good enuf" is a subjective case-by-case call, and therefor a variable.
