1. 35 mm equ is 80 - 300. So you can't find this range similar price in other brands.

2. Lens hood is smart designed. You never need to remove it.

3. Very sharp.

4. Min focus is 70 cm. So You don't need close up filter or other equipment.

5. Result is fatastic with focus stacking photos. Just try.

And I read some comments about weight that says "a little heavy".

Gentlemen, OMD E M10 MK3 body and this lens lighther then Nikon 70-200 VR F/2,8

I thanks to myself for choosing these configuration.

Loved my copy of the lens (have sold it) and appreciate your review. However, I do take exception to your comment about the lens hood, which IMHO is a disaster waiting to happen. Google to learn about the many instances where the lens hood has disassembled, releasing springs and/or small pieces of metal..a $70 piece of junk.. crap.

Can second that about the lens hood, apart from that the lens is perfect.

I want to add to the OP's post that the 40-150 works really well in combination with the 1.4xTE.

The 40-150 f2.8 PRO was easily one of the best lenses I've owned. Sold it because the AF-C for the EM1.1 is mediocre and decided to go the route of an RX10 IV instead of buying a 2nd gen EM1.
