Antonio--those are great shots, thanks for posting.  I got my 40-150 and 1.4 yesterday and used it this morning in overcast conditions at the dog park.  Focus speed was excellent and results were also good, even the video auto focus worked well on an E-M1.

…but I feel the light is a bit flat. What about adding a bit more contrast and turning up the brightness?

Geoffrey -- I think your light in the South Pacific is typically much more brilliant than in Europe at this time of the year. (It's very subdued and flat here in Minnesota now that the sun is low in the southern sky.) To my eye, the contrast and colors look perfect for the lighting conditions.
