I have a 75-150/4 one that I'm about to list on e-bay, for sale.
It is in EX- condition, with Olympus hard case and caps.
$100 plus shipping ($6) to USA addresses.

(Quite a bit of other stuff as well, I'm about to have a huge
summer clearance....lots of really great gear)

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.
