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? 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.

IMO the 40-150 Pro is an essential lens for any Oly kit. Mine seems to have a hundred uses and I use it heavily.

The MC14 is quite useful; my caveat is to close it at least 2/3 stop to retain the lens' excellent sharpness, so think of the pair as 70-210/5.0 or thereabouts.

Good luck!
