I'll second Tom Scales' nomination for the 75-150/4 Zuiko. I've had one a
relatively short time and love it. Covers exactly the ranges I typically
shoot at without burdening me with excess size and weight. It has the
diameter of a normal lens, is a little more than twice the length and
weight. Very satisfactory resolution and contrast.
My Vivitar Series 1 28-90/2.8-3.5 varifocal (67mm filter size) is a
Clydesdale by comparison - huge, heavy, way off-balance on the petite OM-1.
As good as the lens is, I'd rather have the slower but smaller 35-70 Zuiko.

I'm re-entering the Olympus world after a
long absence. I'm trying to get back up
to speed. I purchased an OM-1 with
50mm 1.8 and 28mm 3.5 lenses.
Previously I had a 100 2.8 that I liked
alot. However I have grown
accustomed to using a zoom for
quickly composing my pictures.
Question: which Zuiko zoom
would list members recommend
covering the range 75/80 to about
180/200mm?
65-200 F4?
70-210 F4.5-5.6?
75-150 F4?
100-200 F5?
Any obvious gems or dogs?
Mike
