The weather is really strange ... your country has the summer at full power, and my country (The Netherlands), doesn't seem to get one tiny bit of summer. All we see here is rain, more rain, and for a change ... we get even more rain. The temperatures are cold for this time of the year. We used to see temperatures between the 25 / 30 celsius in the summer. But now it's only 18 celsius. In large parts of the country there are floods due to the large amount of rainwater that has already fallen recently. By now we are all longing for the sun here.
Oooh Oly 40-150 2.8 pro, that's a great lens. When I started with photography in 2008, I had a 40-150 f2.8 from Olympus with the Olympus E3 camera. It was a wonderful lens. And you used it really well. It's great to see that the still have that magnificent quality.
Here in Canada we are getting 30 Celsius and sunny every day. Even 49 Celsius out in British Columbia. Causing lots of forest fires… we could use some of your rain.
I would be more than happy if the rain would go your way, and some of your sun would come our way! Unfortunately, or do I need to say "fortunately", we can't control the weather. But believe me, if I could ... I would.
I could not skip this Oly PRO lens, when I found it second hand, but in mint condition, for 55% of the new price

Oh gosh, that's so pretty! Here is the path we walk every day ... with one of my dogs
Would love the 40-150 pro, but I have only the normal one. I enjoy my PRO 12-40 a lot though and if you are interested in macro, I can recommend the 2.8 60mm prime - not a pro lens, but performs very well.
