I guess  that's true -- the 50-250 is one of my favorites.  I like the idea
of the lens, as it goes fairly wide (35) but still has some reach (200).  If
I am going to walk around with just one lens......

Interestingly, I find myself using my non-Zuikos (gasp) pretty often.  The
80-200/2.8, the 60-300.  I'd love a Zuiko, but there are just some serious
gaps.
