I don't believe that what you want exists, nor is likely to. Long and fast 
equals big glass, and is not cheap.

The Panny 35-100/2.8 is way over your budget and short on focal length.

About your only options are the 40/45-150/175/200 lenses that are slower than 
you want, but inexpensive.

Checking on µ4/3 lens options is quite easy on this list.

Get the 40/45-150/175/200 lens that seems best to you and learn to live with 
high ISOs.
