I am thinking of getting the Oly 40-150 Pro and teleconverter to replace my Pan 35-100 and hopefully get some sharper shots than my 75-300 can produce. Is this a bad/good idea?

Yes, the 40-150 Pro and MC-14 is a stellar lens/teleconverter combo and perfect complement to your 12-40.

The 40-150 gives you extra reach, close-up/quasi-macro capability, lens function button, manual focus clutch...phewww.

Additionally, Olympus just announced a 2.0x teleconverter that would give you an 80-300mm @f5.6.

Is this a better choice than the Pan 50-200 for my Oly Em1.2? I have read some discussions about these lenses in other posts, but I am still unsure and would like to consolidate my kit in the best way possible. I am really enjoying my 12-40 Oly Pro.

Good luck.

Cheers.
