Useful thread. Brings up the same conundrum with the Sigma 56 f/1.4 . I don't know what the max aperture of the EOS-M 18-150 is at 56mm, but the 18-150 yields 4 stops stabilization, so it's probably pretty close. Now the Sigma is a very sharp lens. Probably sharper than the 18-150, but I would be willing to sacrifice some sharpness in favor of convenience in many circumstances. Notwithstanding, I will be taking portraits of high school seniors soon and I'll definitely be using the the Sigma 56mm.

On another note, I spend an evening in NYC photographing the crowds and holiday lights, and was pleased with how well the IS worked. I had no problems getting good shots

I agree with you on this, as I have found my love to use the Siggy for portraits wide open.
It would be nice to have added 4-stop stabilisation, but the "the look" the Siggy produces is far better then the 18-150mm can. I have both, btw.
