It depends on the copy of the 18-55 you have. I have several of the 18-55's which I got with the kits that came with the M, M2, and M3. Two of the 18-55's are very, very good - and one of them is downright sub-par. Because of copy-to-copy variations (of any lens for that matter), your mileage may vary.

But more concerning - at least for me, that is - is the wonderful build quality of the 18-55, 22 MM and the 11-22. Looking at those 3 lenses, it gave us some hope with regards to future releases. However, all of the subsequent EF-M lens releases have been sub-par (IMO) with regards to build quality.

Marco Nero rates the 28mm Macro very highly wrt imaging quality/ability.
