I have the expensive big brother to this lens, the Olympus 40-150mm f2.8. It's fantastic and sets a high bar for performance and build quality. I also have the cheap but cheerful little brother, the Olympus 40-150 f4-5.6 R and it is the best zoom you can get for ~$100. This lens fits in the middle with a compact design, excellent IQ (close to its big brother), and weather sealing (something the little brother doesn't have). I love the twist action to extend the lens from its travel configuration. From then on its all internal focusing and zooming. Just fantastic. Some reviewers hate the fact that you need to extend the lens to use it, but I think it is genius. I have no problem extending this lens when I start using it. I pair this lens with an E-M5ii and the Oly 12-45mm f4 in a compact travel kit. It's big and little brothers get paired with an OM-1 and E-PL9 respectively.
You can't go wrong with this lens. OMDS/Olympus made a winner here that aligns with the compact, light-weight, rugged, and quality ethos of its MFT ecosystem.

Albeit, this is my first Pro lens, the quality is noticeable. Extremely sharp. Medium weight. Really nice build quality.

Nítido sin lugar a dudas, seguramente el bokeh del 2.8 sea mejor, en la segunda foto que comparto se pueden distinguir las formas geométricas de la apertura, cuestión de gustos. Sigo contento con mi decisión, el lente simplemente es una chulada.
