I own and use both lenses. In terms of sharpness the Olympus is a little better, out of focus areas render about the same.

Both lenses have their own advantages. The Panasonic is small and lightweight, it is my pereffered telezoom, when I take my ThinkTankPhoto Mirrorless Mover 20 with a two zoom setup (O 2.8/12-40mm).

The O 2.8/40-150mm, offen with the MC 1.4 extender, is the preferred telezoom when more reach is required: landscape, wilderness, sports.

The image quality of both lenses is very good.

If you want a smooth bokeh, zoom lenses are the wrong choice anyway.
