All are excellent lenses. I would put them in order:
1) Tamron 80-200/2.8. One of the best zooms ever and the best for OM. By
far. Big and Heavy
2) Tamron 50-250 - Many think the Olympus 50-250 is the same lens. Excellent
and less expensive. Lighter
3) Olympus 85-250 - A good lens, but big and heavy and slow. Not my
favorite.
