No. No. No. Why won't this myth die? Only one lens is overpriced, the 300/2.8, the rest are quite competitive priced. And they make good lenses too:

I have in my hands the July issue of the Practical Photography. It tests 6 zoom lenses at about the same focal lengths and price.
The only zoom that has taken 5 stars for image quality is the zuiko 40-150 f3.5-4.5. The rest has taken:
4 stars the sigma 70-300 apo macro super, the nikon af 70-300 G and the canon 90-300 usm.
3 stars the tamron 70-300 LD macro and the sigma 70-300 DL macro super II.
So the zuiko 40-150 is the tester's choice of the lenses.
We know that the zuiko 50-200 f2.8-3.5 is even better, but indeed the 40-150 f3.5-4.5 is a very good lens, especcially for its price. So, all of you who have the lens, enjoy it.
