Bill, I think the Tamron 60-300mm looks like the way to go :)
Probably the cheapest option for me at this stage.

Thanks for the info Jeff. Looks like quite a few options. I'll have to see
what I can find second hand.
I'm hoping the 50-200 digital will come down  a little in price when the new
Oly lens series is released.
I find 200mm to be just a tad short for my needs, so would need the EC-14 as
well, which isn't overly cheap either at the moment. Well, not for an
enthusiasts anyway :)
