I agree with you Tom about the 50-250/5. It is not dreadfully big or
heavy, but it feels nicely balanced on the camera, looks sharp
through the viewfinder and the results are very fine. Some of my
shots of the Alhambra were taken with this lens:

If I am repeating this url, please forgive me. The photos are there
for my Mum to see, not because they are wonderful technically or
artisitically.
Given that ISO 200 and 400 films are so sharp now, the max aperture
is no great problem. Also, as the Roger W saw on Sunday when I was
photographing the Millenium Bridge, my lens rest, called a Camcane
with its Stalker Grip, works very well with the 50-250.
Oh, and it focuses down to 1.53m at 250mm - quite close...

The challenge is the two-touch, as most of the zooms I would support are
one-touch. I really don't have anything to add, as all the lenses I've
owned that are great have been mentioned (well, except one -- get there in a
minute).
For Zuikos, the choices are the 85-250/5 (2), 65-200/4 (1) and 50-250/5 (1).
The 85-250 is just too big for my taste. I LOVE the 50-250 and use it
constantly.
