The other way to go is the old (and used) D.Zuiko 50-200mm f2.8-3.5 SWD. Get also the older TC14. Works fast on Em1, but not as fast as the 40-150 mm Pro. More reach, weatherproof. Also heavy and large, but not too much compared to 40-150 mm lens.

The SWD-version is the mkII of that lens and has a faster focus system. Solid performer.

PS. If you buy the 50-200, do the focus adjustment before the trip and test the fine tuning... Mine needed some -3 setting, and a bit more with the TC. Easily done, but needs a tripod.

May I ask what adjustment method you used for this combination of body/lens/adapter? Thanks in advance.
