Welcome, Kathy!
There are some strange things about this group.
1.) You're always going to get at least 5 different questions for any question.
2.) The all seem equally valid.
3.) Clint and John H. are 20 year veterans of OM repair.
Now for my advice: Here are websites built by people who tested OM lenses as a
hobby:

Here's one that tested just a few Zuikos but also tested a few from other
brands:
http://www.photodo.com/nav/prodindex.html
Here's my favorite. If I have labeled it right, it was built by Gary Reese,
one of the members of this list:

Shockingly, the finest, most expensive 80-200 lens available to fit an OM
wasn't made by Olympus. It's a Tamron with a maximum
aperture of 2.8 . (!)

There's more but that's enough to overwhelm you for a few weeks.
By the way, in your OM cameras, you want this battery: SR44
It will say "Silver Oxide" on the package and you can get them at Wal-Mart.
Don't use LR44 and don't use alkaline.
