Re: Tripod collar is removable-- for a reason.

Sean;  thanks for well reasoned response.  I pretty much totally agree with that re the 40-150 f2.8.  I actually had the Panasonic 35-100 f2.8 for about a year but sold it due to lack of use.  It's a beautifully sharp lens and nicely made.  I just needed/wanted more reach, and I think that's where the new 40-150 will come in-- even though quite a bit heavier.  I've been using the small light Pana 45-175 (90-350 equivalent) as I like its reach and also have found it surprisingly sharp, and a nice little consumer grade lens.
