I was thinking I could find a reasonable legacy telephoto or zoom, looking 200+,maybe 300 or 400 and an adapter. That would be a low-cost way of getting a long-range setup?

You really do need autofocus with a long zoom, particularly if you’re planning to use it for sport or wildlife. A “smart” adapter to give you electronic control of such a lens will cost you more on its own than buying a reasonable m43 native zoom would.
