I'm also partial to Kirons, but not to the extent that you are. :-)

One of my all time favs is the 105/2.8 1:1 macro. And I took the 35-135 
off the OM-4 today to make my IPD photos pure Oly, but it's back on now. 
The Zuiko 35-105/3.5-4.5 is smaller and cuter, but I'm always looking 
for more reach and more macro, and the Kiron delivers both.

My other one is the 28-210/4-5.6. Needs fast film and/or a lot of light, 
but hard to beat for all-in-one shooting on a nice day. Not really 
noticable larger or heavier than the AT-X Tokina 35-200/4.5-4.5 that was 
an old travel favorite and the 28mm is quite useful. I also have the 
1.5x teleconverter, but have hardly used it.
