        Since you quote the amount in pounds, I assume that like me you 
live in the UK where light is sometimes limited.
        I would be very tempted to look for a 50mm1.2 with that sort of 
money ( I use a 50mm1.4 and find the extra speed useful over the 1.8).  Or 
you might be able to get a 50mm1.4 and a 135mm 2.8 (I have a Zuiko 135mm3.5 
and an Optomax135mm2.8.)
        A lot depends on what film speeds you are happy with and whether 
you want to photograph outside in windy conditions, or young children, or 
wildlife.
        If you wanted a slow, long telephoto, you could probably get a 
Tamron 500mm mirror  (fixed f8) lens for about the top end of your range (I 
have just traded up to a Zuiko 500mm mirror) but that has more limited uses.
