This is my favorite lens by far. It's so versetile and if I could just use one lens this would be it. After I bought the 300mm f4 I have not used the 40-150mm much because well for birds the 300mm is usually better.

So I attended a talk and a workshop about macro today. I will never look at macro photos the same way again after seeing how much work goes into some shots.

I don't have a macro lens (apart from the 12-50mm kit lens). So I decided to use the 40-150 with the 1.4 TC, I was really pleased with the results.

Here are some of the photos I took, all handheld 1 exposure. They are all full size so best viewed at 100%, (EDIT: some were to big to view at 100% so reszied them to width 1920):

Lovely shots and it amazes me that Oly has not brought out a 200mm true macro as m43 is so well suited for macro. I shoot macro with my PL 100-400 and just wish it focused even much closer than it already does.
