I sold my 14-42 and my 45-150 to acquire the 14-140 f/3.5-5.6 v.i, and I think that was a great move. I don't know if you have the original 14-42 (52mm filter size) which kinda sucks in my opinion, or the later one (46mm filter size) which is smaller and better, but the image quality of the 14-140 equals the latter and the 45-150, and it's great to basically have both in one lens.

With the 14-140, you might find that you're leaving the 100-300 home on a lot of outings.

If you're not interested in the 14-140, then it's just a question of whether you use the 45-150. For my shooting style, I'd rather carry the 14-42 and the 45-150 than carry the 14-42 and the 100-300, but YMMV.

I have the smaller 14-42mm and like the size. I would love the 14-150mm but a little beyond my budget at the moment.
