If you look at the fast D.Zuiko zooms you won't be happy with the size
and weight of the lenses. The 35-100 is big and heavy (1.6kg -
essentially the size and weight of a Tamron SP 80-200 f2.8 or C*non
70-200f2.8 L). The 90-250 is very heavy (3.3kg) and very expensive.

The 150/2 is smaller and lighter than a C*non 300/2.8. At 1.6kg and
150mm long, it can be hand held. The 35mm f3.5 macro seems to be top
quality (other than speed) and is extremely light. Olympus has shown
there can be advantages but doesn't have a strong story yet.
