This is my best 15-45. Crop from center of the frame.

Yeah - it doesn`t seem at its best at closeup distances

Here`s another 45mm Scene from the M100`s Kit lens , this time with Sun - it`s far from soft (especially compared to the mush I`ve seen from Sony and Fuji kit lenses at 45, 50 and 55mm) but it`s hardly uo to the scrutiny of a 32Mp sensor anywhere in the zoom range near the edegs ...... and the 15-45 throws up random blurry edges at 15mm anyway if you catch the IS on the hop .

My experience is that the 18-55 is a more consistent performer throughout the zoom range , maybe softer overall but the centre to edge consistency is a lot better
