Også hej herfra Mattias. Velkommen ombord :)
Your story is quite usual...finding the OM system by accident, then
developing into it. Be prepared for the most dangerous addiction of
your life :)
You have picked a good system, where (IMO) the best feature is that
you can get excellent optics and reliable bodies for reasonable
money.
A few comments on your lens thoughts....and on Rogers comments as
well-

Actually, I have both the 135/2.8 and 135/3.5. I would prefer the
/2.8 if for no other reason that the extra light makes focusing
easier in low-light situations. Also, I tend to think of the /2.8 as
more contrasty than the /3.5, making my images appear sharper.
I'd say hold on to your money and get the /2.8 version.

I have no opinions on the Tokina, however I do have the zuiko 28/2.8.
A nice lens to be sure, which you cannot go wrong on. It pops up
regularly in the shops here - I think it goes at about 100-120 Eur or
so for a good sample.
