Hi Pitchertaker

Good question. i was very excited when they announced the 300mm f4. Now its arrived im dissapointed that they've priced it so high and effectively above mine and the amateur market. I guess thats one answer, and I think Olympus have shot themselves in the foot here as they don't have enough of a hold on the pro market yet.

On reflection if I had a choice the answer is no, I would stick with the 40-150 and 1.4 converter its just so versatile, light, and delivers really great quality. Where else can you get such a range and a choice of F2.8 or F4. 2.8 is really useful for depth of field (which M4/3 lacks) and poor light - so valuable for us in the northern hemisphere

I hope that was helpful and good luck with the lens selection

Regards

Phil
