The question is, should I get the 18-150mm M lens since I already have coverage with the 55-200mm M and an adapted EF-S 18-135...
Same question here. I have the 11-22 and 15-45 (and M5) on the way but I will also get the 18-150 or 55-200. I probably don't need 200 at the long end, but do want the best IQ at 150. The 18-150 has the advantage of being a single-lens option for some outings like long hikes or walk-around where changing lenses is a nuisance and may cost a shot due to lost time. The 55-200 would definitely require more lens swapping and more weight/objects to carry, but might be sharper at 150mm. One or the other having better IS would be a factor.
I'm 76 and downsizing in part due to arthritis (hands) and reducing the load when hiking, but my hands also tend to shake a bit especially at the end of a several mile climb. I'm leaning toward the 18-150, but need to confirm 150mm and IS performance.
Welcome any input.
Sound like 18-150 is a great option for you. Photos samples are great and size/weight is perfect for light ad compact traveling.
Personally, I prefer fast primes and can't share my personal experience about 18-150. Good luck with your decision and share some photos!
Thanks, I'll dig into it. As you can see from my equipment list, I'm a prime fan as well (plus 24-105 walk-around -- though often I use the 50/1.4 as a walk-around and splice/crop to get wider/longer). My long hike camera has been the SL1 but it's short-comings (compared to the 5DIII) bother me. I'm looking forward to te IQ of the M5.
