Re: Oly 40-150 Pro lens. Jump on good deal now or hold out for better one?

Yeah, the lowest authorized dealer price on that lens in the USA has been 1299. Mostly it's been at 1399. I'd like to have it but want the Panny 100-400 more. If the 40-150pro went on sale for <1K, I'd be tempted and if there was a good bundle with the EM1 mkii, I'd pretty much be powerless...

Here's the pricing history on that lens. You can see that after about 9 months, they effectively dropped the price to 1399 and every 5-ish months have a 1299 sale. It will be interesting to see what they push during Black Friday sales.
