Well, I offer the following for consideration, and I'll freely admit that
it's as much because I have them and have been intending to ebay them
sometime soon as I don't really use them any more - I'm sure I could give
you a special OM-list/RISC OS user discount.
Vivitar Series 1 28-105 f/2.8 A bit bulky, but a useful range if you're
toting a single lens/body around a picturesque landscape. Nice and bright,
too. Since I now have a reasonable selection of fixed focal length lenses
in this range, including the rather nice 85 f/2 and 35 f/2 Zuikos, it's
fallen into disuse
Sigma APO 75-300 f/4.5-5.6. Nice sharp lens, although it's a bit long
(physically) and suffers from zoom creep and lack of a tripod bush. I tend
to use my Tamron 80-200 f/2.8 instead these days.
Yell if you want to know more about either of these. I'm in Bristol, btw.
