I do not have the 40-150 f2.8, as I don't shoot that long enough to justify buying it. I use the 50-200 SWD with the EC-14 still and it works fine, though a bit larger than the 40-150.

I do have the 35-100 as a complement to the 7-14 and 12-40. When I travel, these 3 lenses are in the bag and the 75-300 is in the suitcase. When I know I want low light performance with a tele, I use the 50-200. If I did not already own it, I might spring for the 40-150.

Still boils down to how much you use each focal length and what you want to carry. I would not do travel photography without the 35-100. It is a great lens in a compact form. I agree with other posts, that it is good enough to take a lot of crop.

Shame Panasonic don't do a teleconverter for the 35-100. Or do they?

If they had one I bet less people would own the Oly 40-150 pro. I do by the way and I love it.

This is where Olympus are ahead of the game.
