My 50~200 was the most useful and beloved lens I've ever owned.  The original set up with the E-1 was with a 14~54 (also a good lens) and the 50~200.  Both took 67mm filters.  A perfect set up.  Later came the 12~60 and it was a very good lens too.  A modern version of these two lenses is something I'd really like to own.  I wish they had been announced before I bought my 12~40 and 40~150, which in my option are not nearly as well set up as the the older E system lenses.  Also they take different size filters which is a PITA.  Don't think I'm up to spending MORE money, and selling my existing lenses at a big loss.  But I think those who get the new combo will be greatly pleased by them.
