Re: I'm thinking about getting an Olympus 40-150 f2.8 pro, any advice?

Got my OMD EM1 mk II a couple of weeks ago, with the 40-150 f2.8, the 12-40 f2.8, the 75-300 and for a walking around lens, the 14-150.  I'm pleased with all, and love the two pro lenses.  The 40-150 is extremely sharp at all focal lengths, even wide open.  I took of the tripod foot and got the "decorative" ring to cover the band that would be exposed.

I'm also a longtime Canon shooter and am selling my 5DIII and a bunch of lenses and heavier tripods because I no longer can lug the weight around.  While I have to admit that a full frame shot with the 500mm f4 has stunning IQ, and the camera's high ISO noise is easy to correct, I am making the trade off to the OLY system.  I think the gains outway the losses for me.

Eventually (depending on how much of my Canon stuff I sell) I want to get the 7-14 Pro, the Oly fisheye, 1.4x extender, and the Panny 100-400.
