George,
Well if you are comparing the lens to Zuiko primes I would have to agree
with you in general. In (both) my samples the sharpness and color
balance have been good, contrast is a bit lower than one might want
though. It does seem that either the quality of the 75-150 or people's
expectations of the lens do vary some.
