Sebastian,

Also consider the Zuiko 200/4. It is quite small for the focal length, and 
weighs only around 500 grams. The 85-250 is almost 900 grams! That's a 
difference to certainly consider. 

Also- I don't see your need for a lens to cover 50-250. Maybe you are only 
considering this range because that's what the dealer has available? But to me, 
I think it is too much of an overlap with your Tamron 35-105. With your lenses 
you already have 135 and 300 covered, so, maybe a simple 200 will do it for 
your needs? I wouldn't get a 50-250 or an 85-250 just to get in the 200-250 
range. Just my opinion.
