Add the 32/1.4, 56/1.4, and 18-150 to your travel kit along with the 11-22, 22/2. If your 55-250 still fits, carry it also - it will be especially helpful when you want that extra 100mm on the long end. side note: if your 55-250 is a good copy, keep it and don't worry about the EF-M 55-200. This kit of 3 primes & 3 zooms is quite good and should serve you quite well for a number of years.

Is there any particular need to have 2 lenses covering 55-150?

3 primes (22/2, 32/1.4 and 56/1.4) + 2 zooms (11-22 and 18-150) should cover 99% of my need.

Not really. The main reason to keep the 55-250 is for the additional reach. For travel the 18-150 is perfect, at least for me. My 18-150 is better than the 15-45 & 55-200 (both sold)

3 primes & 2 zooms will serve you well - great kit.

Thanks. I am quite surprised that a 18-150 can outperform a 55-200.

I also highly recommend the 18-150…never felt the need to buy the 55-200 as 240mm (ff equiv) can handle most of my landscape and travel photography needs. In my own case the jump from 150 to 200 does not justify carrying another lens. What I did was to buy the 70-300 USM II (excellent lens) which I use on both the M and the R cameras with adapters.
I think the reason why Canon launched a 55-210 in the RF-S mount, instead of a 55-250, was to protect sales of the 100-400 to the crop crowd who needs more reach. So they want hobbyists on a budget to have a kit like R10 plus 11-22 (fingers crossed), 18-150 and 100-400…or, for more entry level and lightweight, R10/R50 plus 18-45 and 55-210.

The reason I asked was that:
1. I always thought super zoom lenses would be more of a compromise, but it seems that both the 18-150 and 55-200 have 17 elements in 11 groups (so the same amount of glass).

  1. I have the 15-45, which has no resale value.
