I'm thinking of buying the EF-M 55-200 for use on my M6II before they are no longer available to purchase new. I'd appreciate input from those that use this combination regarding image quality on the higher megapixel sensor. I'm taking a trip to Yellowstone next month and will take my M kit rather than the R kit because it is much lighter to carry. I have every other EF-M lens except the 18-55.

EF-M 55-200
Just picked up a refurb 55-200 on sale ($250) at the Canon Online Store. Really bounced back and forth between the 18-150 and this lens and ultimately came down on the 55-200 for the extra reach even if IQ is a touch better with the 18-150. My wife and I both have M5s. I primarily use the 22mm...

It's decent, but a bit underwhelming on the M6II with its 32MP sensor. I liked using the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM with the adapter a lot more, but that's bigger/heavier/$$$$.

I got my copy used albeit mint boxed. Truth be told I was far from impressed, so bought the 18-150mm instead. I then read that a firmware update for the 55-200 really did change it, I wasn’t convinced but downloaded and installed the latest firmware…..
Wow, made a huge difference. It now performs better than my 18-150!! Hence the 18-150 seldom sees use these days.
