Sam since you asked ... ;-)
I too would improve your (Zuiko) coverage in the medium range area.
I might go for a 135/3.5 though so that you can buy a decent little
standard as well (50/1.8) - although you might get a 135/2.8 for
about £120 and a 50/1.8 for £20-30.
Alternatively, you might get a 65-200 for the money. It is big, I
understand, but it is a high quality zoom and would replace your 3rd
party one.
Depends how you want to use them, but I do love spending other people's money!

Hi
For some inexplicable reason I've got a bonus payment from work, so after
the usual buying shoes for the kids, taking out the wife etc etc I have
around 100-150 UK Pounds to spend on toys.
As you guys are responsible for my so-far well controlled Zuikohicism I'm
looking to you for some help and guidance
My kit is :-
* OM1 (with a Jessops motor drive I use very occasionally)
* 28mm, 35-75mm and 85-210mm lenses
* National flash (can't remember the model no)
plus a tripod, monopod and lightmeter
So, what do I buy?
That depends - what kind of photography do you do or want to
do? If you want something handy to make good photos of the kids (in their
new shoes?), then maybe a moderate prime tele would be worth it (100/2.8
is on and affordable, 85/2.0 is my favourite in the same range). However
if you're into micro photography, you probably want something
different.....
