I saw that currently Olympus offer cash back for Olympus 75-300, so I am considering purchase of that lens. How good is this lens for AFC on E-M1?

Can't comment on that particular combo, but I used 75-300 on my E-M10 last year, and I did not feel that it was particularly fast at focusing. It was not a speed daemon by any stretch of imagination. Maybe it would be a bit better on E-M1, but I would not expect that. Bear in mind that my experience with it was kinda limited (really used it for couple days). But it's probably safe to assume that 40-150/2.8 is a much better lens in this respect.
