But I have to agree, I can cover 11mm to 400mm with zooms, and between them they get more than 95% of the time attached to the camera.

What kind of max aperture do you get with the zoom lens?

I recently got an M6 II with the 18-150mm lens and it is very good, but I am considering the 32mm to get the 1.4 aperture and sharpness that the zoom lens can't offer.

These are the lenses I have. They are all Canon EF-M except for the bottom one (Sigma).

I am not an expert in this but the zooms at the long end give shallower DOF than the 32mm, despite the higher f numbers. I need a nice long play with a DOF calculator to get my head around the numbers. But none of the zooms are what you'd call fast, and that's where the 32mm shines.

The reason I have the 18-150 as well as the 18-55/55-200 combo is that I have two camera bodies. The 18-150 stays on the second body as an all-purpose walkabout system. I have thought of getting rid of the latter combo but IMO their IQ surpasses the former lens.
