Nice! Where did you finally buy from?

I had debated over the 40-150 vs. 14-150, but went for the latter because of this outstanding deal I found. I also thought the greater range would make it more useful. But do you know what? That "superzoom" has turned out to be the least used lens in my arsenal! $:-\$

I happened to try a 14-150 at the mall today too. It's about the same exact size and weight. This thing is tiny! It's about the size of any other brand's kit lens, and it focuses so much faster than the Olympus kit lens.

Well, Congrats!
The 14-150 is a great lens too, but not sure if you can find it cheap.

This lens is amazing, I can't understand how it's only $150. It's seriously only about twice the length of my kit lens.

Wow--$150 is an excellent price! Was that new? I once saw it discounted as low as $199 up here in Canada (from regular price $299) and I thought that was amazing. And yes, the focusing is infinitely better than the kit zoom--but, it's still leaves much to be desired for C-AF while videoing.
