Works fine on mine.

It is probably the best non-L zoom I used so far and, yes it works, but it seems to miss some punchy character?

it is nice and sharp, even wide open on both ends of the focal range, there is nothing more to complain.

I have both 24 and 32 MP but have found almost zero reason to do an indepth analysis of them.

I may have deeper look myself and run a benchmark when time permits.

Well “character” if that’s what you’re looking for, isn’t something you can really benchmark.  A lens may be sharp enough, or fast enough to perform the tasks you ask of it (which the 18-150 is for me in its limited role).  But ask it to change its character and it’s a no-go.

Character must be built into a lens’ design.  All of the decisions that affect/influence character are made before the lens ever gets built.  So unfortunately if you’re looking for a different character than what the 18-150 is delivering for you, you’ll simply have to choose a different lens.  

Best of luck in your quest!
