m.zuiko 40-150 pro is awesome

This lens is very sharp, even with the mc-14 teleconverter. For a zoom it gets 5 stars from me, simply cannot fault it. Focuses very fast and is not at all too large for its zoom range.

Re: m.zuiko 40-150 pro is awesome

Well said-- short and sweet.  In my review I did knock off 1/2 a point for size and weight but after using it a lot I'd take that back and give it the full 5!  I think the 40-150 f2.8 is the sharpest zoom I've ever used, and I've used a lot.

5 for the hood alone

I love the clever hood design even though it gives the impression of the lens being head heavy

Compared to the Panny 35-100mm it's quite larger and heavier but I get used to it by holding ir by the collar

The extra reach makes it worthwhile

It looks so good, so pro, and so sharp, it's the best lens I own besides the 75mm

The zoom and manual focusing ring mechanism buttery smooth

5 stars from me too

Cheers,
