A high quality tele zoom that doesn't cost an arm and a leg

Something like my Nikon 1 30-110/3.8-5.6. Yes, it's slow. But it's sharp. It's also very small and lightweight. And very cheap.

To get the same quality with my m4/3 gear, I need to pay for the horribly expensive PL 35-100/2.8. And then I will still don't quite have the reach I want.

My 45-200 is collecting dust, it doesn't cut it. I sometimes use my old ZD 40-150/4-5.6. That lens falls into the "good but not great" category. The current 40-150 or 40-175 offerings don't seem to be any better. Or is there a hidden gem somewhere?
