I found that my lowly 40-150mm 2nd version was nearly the same as my 45mm at middle apertures and ended up selling the 45mm.

Great, that confirms what the slrgear.com charts show for F5.6 and F8.

Now I have the Olympus 12-40mm f2.8 Pro, and all I can say is WOW. And I'm a prime kind of guy. If you get a chance check out the 12-40mm f2.8,

Its chart is just a bit better than the 40-150mm at middle apertures (F5.6 and F8). I think the difference might not be visible on even a large print hanging on a wall when viewed at a normal viewing distance. What size prints do you make and have you noted a difference in prints?  Here is the link:
