I like my chrome-nose 135/f3.5 Zuiko SC although I don't use anything longer
than 70mm normally. I enjoyed a day when I took out just the 135 on an OM-1
and the b&w prints were refreshingly different from my usual output. It's
small & light, takes 49mm filters, which makes it easy to couple to a
50mm/f1.8 for macro use, and you can't lose the lens hood!
I know it's looked down upon by other (wealthier) members of the list who
have a better regard for the f2.8 MC version, which is bigger, heavier and
takes 55mm filters, but I haven't used one so can't comment.
The f3.5 sells for 32 - 39 UKP in the UK, and the f2.8 for about twice that.
