There are not many of those super range type zooms for
the OM system (and the ones that are out there are of
atrocious quality). Look instead for a 35-70 zoom or
something like it (these can be had for around $50-100
for off brand lenses. As well as a 70-210 type zoom
which is also 50-100 dollars. Look for Tamron SP or 
Vivitar Series 1 type lenses as those will give you
the best image quality and bang for your buck. However
most of these lenses are metal so they might be a lot
heavier and bulkier than today's plastic zooms.

If you are willing to spend a little more Olympus's
own 35-70 zooms are always a good choice just be
prepared to pay anywhere from $100 for the 35-70/4 to
$200 for the 3.6 model. The lightest of these is a
3.5~4.5 that is very light and makes fine snapshot
pictures look for it to be $125-175
