Re: Fed Up with EF-M 18-150mm

Right, thanks everyone for all the input. I did some proper testing today comparing the 18-55, 55-200 and 18-150 lens. The results were not as I expected and maybe I have done the 18-150 an injustice (though I still say my first copy was a dog). At least I can say I approached the testing without confirmation bias.

What did I mean by "corners terrible" on the 55-200? This:

18-150 @55mm (well 57mm due to guesswork) f/5.6

55-200 @55mm f/5.6

All shot at ISO 400 due to limitations in lighting.

Doesn't mean I'll stop using the 55-200 as it's better in the mid-field, and obviously better at 151-200mm But I'll have a think about when/how to use which. I have two camera bodies and keep one as a sort of "don't care too much if it gets knocked about" with the 18-150 on it currently, but maybe I'll keep the 18-55 on that instead. I have quite a lot of possible combinations.
