Olympus 14-150 vs 40-150 AF/IQ Question

[swandy]

For anyone who had/has used the 40-150 (I have the second, smaller version) with the adapter on any of the Olympus m4/3 cameras and has used/tried the 14-150: How does the AF of the older lens compare to the new m4/3 version?
How about IQ of the two lenses?

I have the EP2 (and just picked up the EPL1 that I am going to convert to IR) and have the adapter w/the 40-150, but seriously considering the 14-150.

Thanks, Steve

the 14-150mm is in the level of 14-45 from panasonic which means very fast in autofocus and the image quality will probably be as good as the 40-150m from 40 to 60mm and almost as good at 150mm if stopped down

Thanks for the information. This lens is looking more and more interesting to me with every comment/review that I read.

Steve, did you ask the same question elsewhere? I'm getting a strong sense of deja vu... thought I'd answered this already

Cheers

Hi Brian,
Yeah I posted the same question on about 5 websites where I know people are interested in the m4/3 cameras.
So no you are not going crazy.
Thanks, Steve
