Thank you everyone for your replies.

They seem to be level in IQ, or, at least the 150 matches the 135 in IQ.

That so, the native mount and size advantages of the 150 seal the deal.

For an especially enjoyable walk around kit.

The overall size advantage of the high performance M6 II and M mounts is just undeniably fun.

The thing with the 18-150 is that it does require DLO or DXO Studio to get the most of it.

Simply because of the size, there's a little more on the way of compromises made.

Other than that, it's one of my favorite EF-M lenses. I'll easily sacrifice a bit of absolute IQ that I'll most likely never need ( or I'll use DLO) for a much much more pleasant kit to use.

Interesting . I've never felt the need to run DLO but then again I'm of the mindset that if an image is successful a little bit of extra sharpeness is not going to add anything and if an image isn't successful it ain't going to matter anyway.

DLO isn't "sharpness" it's about computational corrections.

Yes I know but it does add sharpening. What other corrections do feel the need to make that you stated that you might never need. Not trying to argue here,just curious .
