This photo is not typical of the bokeh obtained with the M.Zuiko 40-150mm F/2,8 at F/2,8.

are you saying that it varies between individual lenses and that the lens used to make this image is not representative ?

If this same shot was taken with 10 different copies of the lens and each image had the same appearance of background out-of-focus then this bokeh is indeed typical of this lens.

I'm using that lens quite a lot these days and I'm totally satisfied with it.

That might not be the case with your picture but if I would apply simili-HDR filters in order to boost apparent contrast, then the quality of the bokeh would drop sharply.
