You can have the 22mm f2.8 on the camera and the 18-150 on a pocket - that gives you a combination with a wide range zoom and a fast, sharp, lens that is even smaller than the 15-45.

+1.  I can't remember the last time that my 15-45 left my storage cabinet.  My copy is O,K, for what I expect of it, but I always travel with the 18-150 & the 22.  Too bad the 22 doesn't have I.S., but if I think that I may need it, I bring along a travel tripod and cable release for the 22.  I like 24mm equivalent, so I think about getting a 11-22, and then there is the 32.  I expect that it will never happen, but I would jump on a good 15-68 f4 with I.S.  That would be more in keeping with the level of quality and functionality of the M6.2 body.  (Must remember:  this is a travel cam:  light, compact, moderately inexpensive, with reasonable quality.)
