Best get the 2.1 firmware.  It has specific code for this lens.

Well designed gear performs better for longer than well marketed gear.
Odd that people complain a lens is not sharp enough,
and then proceed to make pics where 95% is OOF ..

NB: Zuiko 40-150/2.8 +TC in gear list is unrated. Pre ordered and expected it in November.

I think robin Wong's summary more accurate than this,,and slr gear's review which is now up...there's always someone trying to throw a spanner in the works,,very dubious summary...

Robin calls himself an "Olympus warrior", and either does or used to work for Olympus.

That said, I love his write-ups (all gushing about how great Olympus gear is, of course!), but you're in need of a bridge purchase if you take what he says without considering the context!

Re: Solid performer

firmware 2.2 is out and that is the one that provides support for the 40-150 Pro. Would be interested to see the results of using it with this software version - can't really judge otherwise.
