I have a Zuiko 3.5/135mm. Nice and light. OK even wide open. Kept it from my Olympus OM1 days. I guess you can find it for a few - € or $ or £.

But you could also be interested by small zooms :

I also have a Zuiko 4/75-150mm. Small lens easy to cary. Lacks a little contrast, but very good from 5.6.

Then a Tamron 4.5/85-210mm was given to me. I was a little skeptical at first. But after a little practice with manual focus, i find it truly excellent. Plus it's a macro zoom, which is a lot of fun. It's bigger though, but definitely worth a try. Only cost for me was the 42mm adapter ring that I purchased on ebay.

Then I found zuiko 5/100-200mm, that i could get for 10€. Pretty good deal. It really is a great lens, although not very fast.

All these lenses are capable of making excellent pictures when handled correctly. People will swear by one lens over another, but I think the real difference comes from handling. Which means it does take time practicing with manual focusing and settings…

Tamron 85-210mm

Zuiko 100-200mm
