I think the Olympus 40-150 looks great on paper but after looking at the sample images, I'm not sure if I'm convinced. In my personal opinion, I feel like the out of focus areas in the Panasonic lens is far better than the Olympus. In certain situation, the out of focus blur just looks terrible.

The extra reach would be nice, but the Panasonic lens is so much smaller.

Am I crazy to think that the Panasonic is the better lens here? - if you don't need the extra range.

They are both excellent lenses the choice should be on size, weight and reach.  For their ranges and aperture they are both small and light.  You can't really go wrong.
