Hello, first post here ...

I bought the 40-150 f/2.8 as part of a bundle with the EM1 Mk2 + 12-40 f/2.8, I find the 40-150 f/2.8 sharper than the 12-40 but not by much, and almost as sharp with the 1.4x TC @ f/4 as it is without, although a lot depends on what you're shooting, of course, with the TC fitted I'm generally going for further away subjects and it could be the subject being further away that's the issue, not the lens.

In general I find it easy to carry around (on my Peak Design shoulder strap) for any length of time, easy to use hand-held, and I've even filmed 10 minute short oval track races with it hand-held.

Considering I came from a APS-C Nikon + Sigma 150-600 at twice the size and weight it's a no-brainer, this thing screams quality and is every bit as good as I could ever have hoped.
