Jonathan -- You've got a nice start there... but no long telephoto lenses (I
recommend 300/4.5 and the 500/8 mirror, or the 600/6.5) and then you
probably want a true motor drive, MD-2 is nice. Wide lenses, the 18/3.5 is
fantastic, and a 16/3.5 fisheye can be useful. The 24/2.0 I just got looks
likely to become a new favorite (the 24/2.8 was one of my very first lenses,
purchased with my original OM-1 back in 1976). I like the 35-70/3.5-4.5 as a
versatile alternative to the 50mm lenses for good light shooting (I mean
light two ways here...)

In short, you have a lot to look forward to!
