I have 2 EM-10's and 3 PRO lenses.  I love the 12-40, but for my use I take way more photos with the 40-150. It really all depends on the focal lengths that you are comfortable with. And in my ...

I keep all of my small sized lenses (12-40 F2.8 or 75 F1.8 or smaller in neoprene lens pouches, so they fit great in the Messenger pockets. The 40-150 F/2.8 or the 300 F4.0 each get their own ...

I have a Capture on my Panorama 180°. I mostly use it for changing lenses. I mainly mountain bike, so I don't like parking a camera there while riding. I also have an Everyday Messenger. I'm very ...

I don't see any at 420mm, do you not have the MC-14, or just didn't need it? The photos all look great at 300mm.

(1) My only complaints with this lens are the hood. I like it, and I use it, but I wish I could remove it to clean the threads, and I also wish that it would lock in the retracted position.

Very nice shots. I have a multitude of hummers in my yard at the moment, but they feed at the ugly feeders and not at any beautiful flowers. With my 300 and 1.4 TC I am usually too close. If I ...

I have had just as much nervous bokeh on the 300 as I have had on the 40-150. It's never been a deal breaker for me though.

I use both on E-M10's. The 40-150 is faster to focus for me. I probably don't use the focus limiter on the 300 as often as I should though. The 300 is sharper, especially with near focus photos. It ...

The photo difference between my 40-150 w MC-14 and 75-300 is enough that my 75-300 has only been used a couple of times in the last 18 months. I use it, I am disappointed in the results and it ...

A couple of my first lenses were the 40-150 f/4-5.6, the 75-300 f whatever, and then the 60 f2.8. The 12-40 was a joy to use and gave me great results. I never felt it was too heavy. And then the ...

I still love my 60, and I love my 40-150 f/2.8. But most of the close ups that I've taken lately have been with the 300 f/4 + MC-14. One lens certainly can't replace the other, but I'm not always ...

I'm glad yours survived. I had my E-M10 with the 40-150 PRO on it in a Manfrotto Holster and it slid off of my shoulder and hit the floor a foot away. The lens was fine, the E-M10 would turn on, ...

Great BIFs. Although I rarely shoot BIFs, I agree with your assement on focal length. The only time that I find the lens too long at 420mm is when there is a group of birds together and I can't ...

Use the 300 f/4 for a couple of months and you will appreciate how small the 40-150 f/2.8 really is. My 40-150 + MC-14 was my most used lens until the 300 arrived.

I think it was around $340. It was a cluster because when I called Oly repair they still didn't have the 40-150 in their repair system, so they used the 12-40 repair prices, then I owed them money ...

Thanks, I bought the lens using PayPal, but paid with American Express and they covered all the repair costs and Olympus actually replaced the lens. But it was a month of hassle.

I'm using the same filter on mine. I have tried it with and without and I can't see a difference. Just leaving the hood extended adds almost 2" to it's already long length. I scratched the front ...

I'm using an EM-10, probably a slight difference in bags. I do have a Peak Design Arca style plate on the tripod foot, that might be the difference also.  I have 2 larger bags to use if I need the ...

I just tried my 10 V 2.0 with the 40-150 2.8 and tripod mount. I did get it in, but it's really tight, and more of a fight than I would want on a regular basis.

I have a Think Tank Digital Holster 10 V2.0 and a 20 V2.0, and a Manfrotto Holster plus 40. The 10 V2.0 will fit a body plus the 12-40 or 40-150, but won't fit the 40-150 with the tripod foot on. ...
