I had this lens but it got stolen many years ago. I was never happy with it
as I found it far too soft, and as a result it was left at home most of the
time. Instead I used my Zuiko 200mm f/4, and would recommend it as both a
cheap and a good lens. Few months ago I also purchased Zuiko 300mm f/4.
That is also one nice pice I could recommend, but it is probably outside the
range you are looking for. Both of these are of course fixed-focal.
