Focus problems with E-M1 and 40-150 Pro

I have been having issues with this combo lately. Sometimes the AF just does not work. At all. I first though it was because I was taking pictures on lit stages with difficult light but at the weekend I found that a lot of shots outside in perfect lighting failed.

It just does nothing - it will not acquire target - sometimes just will not try and thus will not allow the shutter button to be pressed.

I tried swapping the lens onto my EM-10 body and it was fine, and also faster to focus with stage lighting. Also the 12-40mm on the E-M1 body has never had a single issue, so I am thinking that it is not a contacts issue - anyone else had a problem?
