I loved that lens and I also have the 60mm macro , but I found that the 75mm spent most of its time in the bag so I ended up selling it when I got the 40-150 2.8 and that lens gets lots of use .

I, too, wonder if the 40-150 2.8 is a better lens for me. I swear by my fast primes for wide and normal focal lengths, but I just don't feel like f/2 or faster is necessary with the longer lengths. Certainly the 40-150 with its impressive magnification and minimum focal length is very attractive, as it would get me some wonderful shots and also be a weather sealed lens for my GH4, too. As for OIS, whatever, right? I have a tripod and it's not like shooting 150mm handheld is all that easy anyway.
