Photozone posted the full Olympus 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO lens review and writes:

The Olympus M.Zuiko ED 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO is, mostly, a highly desirable lens – except for one bug. On the positive side, it is very good if not excellent in the primary image quality metrics. It is very sharp across the focal length range including some greatness in the middle portion. Vignetting and distortions are very low. One the downside, the quality of the bokeh (out-of-focus blur) can be disappointing – not in all scenes but busy backgrounds are clearly not the lens’ best friends.
Olympus M.Zuiko ED 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO is directly competing with Panasonic’s Lumix G X 35-100mm f/2.8 Power OIS. Obviously the Olympus has the bigger range (and as such also a bigger size/weight) and is somewhat sharper whereas the Panasonic has clearly the better bokeh plus an image stabilizer. Both are very good really.

Look at that: Use the new Apple Watch as a viewfinder for the Olympus AIR!

This is highly likely the most compact solution to have a working screen on the [shoplink 54641 ebay]new Olympus AIR[/shoplink]. Just clip the [shoplink 54642 ebay]new Apple Watch[/shoplink] on it! It really looks cool :)
DC.watch posted these pictures from the 4th PC Hack meeting. Haruhito Fuji created the new Watch APP called “AirRecipe” (on iTunes here) to sync the AIR with the Apple Watch. Here is the video that shows how it works:

You can buy the new Olympus AIR at Amazon, Adorama, GetOlympus, BHphoto and on [shoplink 54641 ebay]eBay (www shipment)[/shoplink].
