Re: Replacing 50-200SWD with 40-150 f2.8 PRO

3 ounces? I don't need high frame rates as mentioned by skeeterbytes, but was hoping to save a little more weight. The lens does focus just fine on my EM-1.

Wouldnt mind losing the lens shade, your right, it is a monstrosity.

Seems the only gain would be the constant aperture, and a few ounces. Even if I got $500 for the SWD ( optimistic), it's still a lot of money. I will likely keep the ec14, as I occasionally use it with the 50mm macro.
