There are adapters to use almost any lens from 35 mm systems on micro 4/3.
The OP can use his Zuikos from OM or 4/3, or find any brand of fast 50 to get
a fast 100 equivalent on m4/3. Or a fast 85 or 105 for a longer tele.

Also, there are some very fast m4/3 lenses from Cosina/Voigtlander.
Equivalent to 35 and 50 F.95

No long ones yet, though.
