Harder to find, and a bit pricy, but there is also the Olympus Zuiko
50-250mm f5.0 lens. Covers a good range, a one-touch zoom, 55mm filters.
Cost seems to run ~$400 or so when they come up.

A lesser range, but still out there, is the 85-250/5.0 lens, a bit bigger
and two-touch, but more common and quite a bit less costly, often around
$225 or so.

My suggestion to cover that range is a Zuiko 35-70/3.5-4.5 and a Zuiko
65-200/4.0. Two lenses, but probably better image and construction quality
and about the same size/weight as the 28-200/4-5.6 aftermarket wunder-zooms.
