IMO, the Tamron is a pig of a lens, big, slow, preset. Everything the Pen F/FT
is not.
Get a nice 70/2, 100/3.5, or 150/4 for long-focus shots, all of which are nice.
The 70 is hardly bigger than a standard lens. The 60/1.5 is the available
light king, but quite soft wide open and pretty expensive. The 40/1.4 or
42/1.2 are better.
For wide angles, there are only three option: 20/3.5, 25/3.5, 25/2.8. The 20
is about equal to a 28mm on an OM, 25 ~= 35. The 25/2.8 is a little big, and
the most expensive of the bunch, typically.
