ref Examples using Olympus 40-150mm f2.8 with Panasonic GH4

Thanks Horsth very reassuring that you have captured such sharp images without IS... i will probably add the GX80 later on this year to have the best of both worlds but at fast shutter speeds the results you have posted speak for themselves..

Just out of interest do you feel the MC-14 is essential as from testing my rather older 45-200mm the difference between 150mm and 200mm is actually not as much as I was expecting and therefore I suspect given how sharp the lens tends to perform I would simply crop into the image taken at 150mm to achieve the 200mm fov if it was needed...

If anyone has any comparisons of 150mm v 200mm FOV or 210mm as it will be for this lens I would appreciate it..

Many thanks for the other replies all of which have been very helpful..

Sometimes I shoot with my GH4 paired with 40-150 pro plus MC-14. Shutterspeed is important due to the missing stabilization. On the other hand, shooting BIF for instance needs no stabi at all, only speed.

here is my flickr test album that I built, when i got the GH4 (bad weather conditions):
