The problem is a decent zoom lens is never going to be small, just look at the APSC zoom lenses from Sony and Fuji, they are not much different in size/price to the full frame versions. So you might as well just fit a EF 100-400ii L.

but that means mucking about with an adapter and thats only the tele zoom , is massive and costs the earth , there isn`t a decent APS-C Standard zoom for DSLRs either in Canon (or nikon) even 3rd party ones are mediocre - the canon 17-55 F2.8 is massive and only really good at F5.6 ... FF fares a lot better for standard zooms in all mounts but they`re bog all use to APS_C

OK I agree with that, I saw the post where the OP mentioned the 70-200 and thought he was using zoom to mean tele lenses.

Despite isn't size, I use the EF-S 18-135 nUSM as my main zoom lens on my M6ii. Seems to be the best APSC zoom lens Canon currently provides, but hopefully that changes when they release the rumoured EF-M 2.8-4 zoom lens.

Edit: Although I think decent is the wrong word, the 18-150 is decent, it is just not excellent.
