About the only Zuiko that will fall into the price range and focal length 
range of your RMC is the 70-150mm f4. It is a nice lens. I used one for many 
years.

There are two lenses way up the price scale:
1.) Tamron SP 80-200 f2.8 (about $270) which is a great lens but big and 
heavy.
2.) Zuiko 50-250mm f5 (about $400) which is my favorite when weight is an 
issue.

The other Zuiko choices for that focal range would be
1.) Zuiko 60-200mm f4 (about $160). Many/most of these develop a haze which 
ruins the lens. Otherwise a nice lens.
2.) Zuiko 80-250mm f5 (about$185). A little larger than other Zuikos but 
considered to be a very nice lens.
3.) Zuiko 100mm f2.8 + Zuiko 200mm f5 (each about $100). Ask AG if there is 
such a thing as a good silver nosed 100mm f2.8.  ;-)

Good luck,

Hi,
   I'm looking for a lens to supplement my 50mm 1.8 Zuiko. I've already got
the Tokina RMC 80-200 but the sticky aperture is back and I don't feel like
fixing it again (especially seeing as the going rate for them on ebay seems
to be about £20). Ideally I'm looking for another Zuiko, but I'm not fussy.

   Most of the stuff I do is landscapes and wildlife - birds, squirrels,
whatever I find lurking around :)

   What would you guys suggest?

Thanks.

Phil.
