I wandered into Wolfe's Camera in Topeka KS - has to be one of the leading
Olympus dealers, seems like everything is on display.

I put my hands on the new 40-150 f 2.8 zoom.  Sweet.  Really sweet.  But
1500.

So I also looked at the 70-300 4/3 Zuiko.  Interesting,  might be a bit
lighter/smaller (620 vs. 760 gms).   But 400.

So my question:  given the 70-300 doesn't have quite the AF speed,  And not
2.8,  and a longer lens  ..  Does anyone have an opinion on the relative
performance at equivalent lengths (say 150mm) ?

Yup, but in a different direction. One of my most used lenses is the µ4/3 75-300. 2/3 stop slower, but v. fast focusing, excellent IQ and only 423 g. $500

Well yeah, one does need a different body - unless you are using these things on 
µ4/3 with an adapter.
