I had the same thoughts... until I actually got it!

I thought... it's a beast, too large, too heavy, too expensive, don't need it, ...

Also, I had the 75-300 and hardly ever used it although it was a very good copy.

So why? I hardly ever used the 75-300 because it was too long and too slow. On the other hand the 12-40 was sometimes not long enough. So I did need something, but what?

I got the 40-150 f/2.8 and TC a few months ago and I have already used it way more than the 75-300 in almost 3 years. It simply does everything so well that is over 39mm...

Everything I "throw at it" just comes out beautifully!

67mm f/4

70mm f/4

210mm f/4 (with TC)

95mm f/2.8

150mm f/5.6

I have absolutely no regrets and I know for sure that for what I use this lens the 35-100 would have been a disappointment because it simply isn't long enough.
