As far as constant aperture 80-200/2.8 zooms go, you should look at the
Tamron. I've had one for years and its a tack-sharp lens. They come up
regularly on EBay, and with the Adaptall mount, it doesn't matter what
mount is being sold, all you have to do is spring for a new OM adaptall
mount. I wouldn't part with mine. BTW, it's heavy.
On Ebay, you should look at:
