Looks like Oly made the 75/1.8 for you.
I know money is tight at the moment, and hope that changes soon.
Still, $300 for a grip, plus whatever the MF lens costs, and you are still
manual focusing a tele in dim light. A little
shorter, but a stop faster, could mean just cropping a bit more, at a lower
ISO. And the AF should mean more flexibility
and more focus hits.

The 135/2.8 doesn't get a lot of notice, but it's a nice, relatively light,
compact lens, and a stop faster than the
200/4, which does get big and heavy. Personally, I preferred the 135/2.8 and
200/5 to their siblings.

Camera and lens weight on heel of left hand, with a large lens, some on base of
index finger, index finger and thumb
focus ... When I'm shooting the E-M5 or a DSLR, the right hand carries no
weight, only operating the camera. The weight
is balanced across the center of my left palm.
Although small and light for what it is, the 75-300 is not an insubstantial
lens, and I shoot with it a LOT.
