I didn't care for the Canon EF-M 18-150 F3.5-6.3 IS because it felt cheap to me and I'm not a fan of plastic lens mounts. That's the big issue right now with Canon - in that they have a miserably small selection of EF-M lenses. There have actually been more bodies released (beginning with the M) than there are lenses - go figure.

This is why I am hesitant on getting the 18-150. For a bundled kit lens, fine, I can deal with the plasticky build. The 15-45mm actually does a good job optically from my experience. But it feels like a toy. I would not have paid full price for it. I got that and the M100 new for $350 so I was okay with that; its a good value for sure. The price of the 18-150 with the plasticky build makes me pensive. At least the 22mm has a metal chassis and mount.

I was looking into the Tamron 18-200 but am slightly concerned about if the larger size and weight will mitigate the size advantage of the camera. But then again, options are limited.
