Yes a great lens. Funny thing though for me is that I rarely use it. I usually shoot longer if needing long tele and use fast primes for short tele. But when it fits into what I need it never disappoints.

I am like you; I rarely use my M.Zuiko 40-150mm f/2.8 Pro with my Pen F. But when I do, I smile when I see the images. Like the OP, I consider the lens spectacular.

I bought it as a specialist use lens and don't think I could do without it - for indoor sports in dimly lit halls and for most motorsports (especially in UK winter when there is so little light), and also for soccer and rugby matches.

So in short I suppose I am saying it is my 'go to' sports lens of choice - and boy does it ever deliver.

PS. I am in love with that wonderfully clever sliding hood mechanism.

My feeling is that it has the quickest AF drive of any lens I have tried... really turbo charged!
