Would an adapted lens do you? Nikon made a 75-150 f3.5 that gets
rave reviews Others had similar lenses: One page I found said Oly
were first and others copied them. Canon FD, Pentax, Minolta, all
constant-aperture, though some were slower. Tokina tried to one-up
them all with a 60-120 f2.8.
You'd lose auto everything, most of these were one-ring zooms
and zoom creep was a common problem. On the other hand, the
Nikon is under $100 today at KEH or Adorama and adapters are
cheap. On a speed booster the Nikon would give you constant
f2.4 aperture over a 105-210 equivalent range.
