Here are a few of my favorites:
- Zuiko 65-200mm F4
- Tokina AT-X 80-200mm F2.8
- Vivitar Series 1 70-210mm F2.8-4 (with 62mm filter!)
- Kiron 70-210mm F4 (with zoom lock, or zoom lock + focus lock)
- Tamron SP 70-210mm F3.5
- Sigma 75-200mm F2.8-3.5
- Tokina RMC 70-210mm F4
All of the above will provide you with excellent picts, but are
quite large. If you need a more petite but still very good zoom,
try the Tokina RMC 80-200mm F3.5-4.5. Also, if filter size is
a consideration, choose either the Zuiko or one of the slower
Tokinas, as they all take Olympus-standard 55mm filters.
Good luck,
