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

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.

I've got to disagree with you, the above picture is very representative of my experience with the lens.  The lens has some really great qualities but the bokeh it produces can get downright ugly.
