I sold my 14-42mm and added a few bucks to get the 40-150mm. It should arrive in about 3 days, then I will post some samples.

I got it from staples with that trick everyone been using here and other M43 forums.

What trick is that? I don't follow the other forums, wherever they are.

Here you go, Doug. The deal has been on an off, but I see the regular price has been creeping and wonder whether this still works. Let us know . . .

Thanks. Over at Staples the 905931-L1 code comes up "Expired.." Oh well, I didn't NEED the lens but I wanted it. I'll be patient, bound to be another deal along eventually.

Oops, I was afraid of that. Yes, there will be other deals, though the overall trend is up: commodity prices are exploding and industrial production in Japan has been interrupted. Get your deals while they last.

I know I should have bought it.

You bet you. I am not a fan of zooms, nor of the new Olympus lenses, but at $109--are you kidding me? I was mightily tempted.
