The standalone software will only support camera raw files that existed when support stopped. In the case of LR5, that will be cameras into December 2015.
I'm using LR 6.0 which doesn't support my E-M1X RAW files so I convert them all to .dng which works well for me.
Right eye only, left is closed
A wise man once told me "It's only a deal if you get what you want." The first thing to consider when shopping for a lens is not the price, but whether or not that lens will do what you need it to do. I have a 14-150 that fit my needs when I bought it, but is not usable for most of my recent shooting because it is too slow. It works fine for a lot of things, but not indoor sports so I don't thing the questions about how a product will be used are faux-wise at all, but rather may serve to encourage an enlightedned decision.
As with everything else, it all depends on what you are shooting. When I shoot roller derby which is fast action in low light I use a M1 with a 40-150 2.8. When I go on vacation I take an old EM5 with a 1st gen 14-150 4-5.6 because most of my subjects are well lit with little motion. My understanding is the only difference between the 1st and 2nd gen 14-150 is the weather sealing which I wish I had, but not worth buying another one. I have had my EM5/14-150 kit since 2013, have used it a lot and have no complaints (except for that time the thumb grip fell off and I had to replace the back panel).
