A 150mm f/2.8 lens must have a front element that has a minimum clear
aperture of 53.6mm. Then it will need about a dozen other elements many
of which will be of similar size. Lots of glass weight no matter how
light the housing.

It's $1500, about what everyone was guessing. However, as my experiments are showing me,
it can't be 10x better than the smaller 40-150 that I went with. Description says it
weighs "less than 2lbs" which still seems pretty heavy for a MFT lens.
