You obviously don't want or need the 12-40, so you should sell it and stick with the 14-150.

You may be right, I'm possibility just in need of validating my thoughts but it's good to hear others opinions and setups. See if it gives me any other ideas.

Nothing crazy about it.

I've had 12-40 for a couple of weeks then sent it back. For me it's defeating the very idea of the m43 - compact and lightweight one hand operated camera with a good IQ. But that's my understanding of the system and many think differently.

The fact that the lens was decentered only made my decision easier. Also I was kind of shocked by the level of vignetting on this "pro" lens.

So no, you are not alone and the 12-40 is not a must-have miracle for everyone.
