That is a cheap, run of the mill consumer zoom. It may be decent or
slightly poor, but certainly not really good. You can do much better.
As Jeff said, the Tamron SP 60-300/3.8-5.4 is a really excellent lens
covering that focal length range and with great close-up/macro capability.
It and the wide range of other Tamron Adaptall lenses will work very
well on the OM-4 and will probably physically mount on the F60.
Unfortunately, they will not meter on the F60. Only the pro level Nik*n
AF bodies will meter with MF lenses. So to use it, you would need a
separate meter. Of course, the OM-4 would work well as a spot meter, but
that is pretty silly.
My advice? Use the F60 for casual suff and the OM-4 for the serious stuff.
