Aha, so it's the battle of compact options. M6mkII wins for AF, that's for sure.

No lens swaps would be a no go for me. And if it's possible to choose the lens, the big lens is often on the camera, because for some stupid reason the bigger lenses are always better, even if you don't need the light gathering or shallow DOF.

The 15-45mm is still in the box, never used it. The 11-22mm is often in the bag, but hardly ever makes it to get mounted on the camera. It's either the 32mm or the sigma 18-35mm f/1.8. That what happens if you're a sucker for IQ.

That said: the 15-45 is compact and versatile, and if it's almost as good as a powershot, but with better AF, it could be the best compact zooming option for you. Never underestimate the importance of AF.

Yup.

I do plan to swap it with the 22, though.

But yes, think PowerShot, that can flip between a G1X III or X100V, at a whim.

Different approach this time. I wrote off the 15-45, but, I feel it needs a revisit.
