I have a Vivitar 2.5/135 T-mount that I really like.  I bought it new back
in about 1975 with an OM-1.  It has been in for a cleaning once after I
dropped it in a horse tank.  It still works fine and has good contrast, is
quite sharp and has great bokah.  Only drawback is the 58mm filters and the
weight.  It makes a great knock-around lens for $20, and you can save for a
Zuiko.
