I bought the M3 and the M10 kit and compared the two. The 15-45 was very very slightly sharper at the edges (after applying lens correction in DPP). I have now swapped and use the M3 with the 15-45 (and I've given away the M10/18-55 so I can't do any more comparisons).

I really like the wider end - I would love to have a 15-70 or there abouts - I find 45 not quite enough which is why I also have the Tamron 18-200.
