The Tamron 80-200/2.8 is still available and is readily available from Ebay

This Tokina is a 80-200mm lens, it weighs 1090g., and unfortunately the manual
focus version is discontinued - the AF version still exists as ATX-PRO. If an
OM-mounted version of this lens ever crosses your path, it should be acquired
immediately ;) The lens has a nice bonus: the Olympus 1.4xA fits.
