The PRO is quite a lens

I shoot primarily primes, and not so much telephoto. Yes, the 75mm f/1.8 is outstanding and it will remain in my stable of lenses. I had the M.Zuiko 75-300mm Mk I for a couple of years, but I was never thrilled with it. I traded it for the 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO and I was astounded at the quality of that lens. I can see very little difference between it and the 75mm f/1.8.

Since I don't do a lot of telephoto, I wanted a really good quality single zoom that would cover the range competently when telephoto-itis sets in. I made the right choice.
