Oly 14-150 MK II questions about price & comparisons
1

The Olympus 14-150 Mark II lens is currently on sale for $450.  How good of a price is that?  Does that kind of sale run every year at the holidays? Does it go on sale for as much or even less any other time during the year? Or, is this price exceptionally low for this lens?

Also - this next question might be harder to answer, but... how does an EM1 with the Olympus 14-150 compare to something like a Nikon D90 with an entry level zoom such as the old Nikkor 18-250, or maybe compared to a Sony A77 with the SAL 18-250? I ask because those are setups I'm familiar with.

My main lens is the excellent 12-40 Pro, but at $450 I'm really tempted by the 14-150. I know the 40-150 is much cheaper, but I'm primarily a street photographer, and I've learned that I'm rarely willing to stop to swap lenses (especially if I'm shooting with company).
