Please, show me I'm wrong... I need a lens with these characteristics:
-Zoom (with good handling)
-Around 50-135...150mm
-Fast f/2.8 or f/3.5 max
-Sharp
-Good bokeh
-Cheaper than a used Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L
Also, it can't be Nikon, Fujinon or Pentax/Takumar (because of the wrong focus turn)
I will need 2 identical lenses (so it can't be very expensive)
It will be used on a m4/3 camera...
Please, help me, I need this for a project...

Hi, Ivan.
Not easy to find one matching your requirements
maybe Tokina AT-X 35-135 f2.8 will fit well

Hello,
I think I might be able to help you out. You can look for the Tokina AT-X 60-120mm f/2.8. The focus rings turns into the direction of the mount (or at least that's what it says in the manual). The bokeh is really quite allright for a zoom lens, and it's easy to use. I have only recently bought it, so I can't give you much samples, but so far I like it.
Here is a page with more info on it
http://www.rokkorfiles.com/60-120mm.htm
And this is the only photo I've taken with it so far
http://www.flickr.com/photos/koen-kallenberg/11211113845/
The only downside to the lens is, that when it's zoomed out to 120mm, and focussed to the minimum focus distance it's quite soft. But you will not notice it at normal portrait distances. |

I just got one of these in Nikon mount yesterday as well for €60. Hopefully the seller will be willing to ship to IRL from DE.

The lens for you is obviously the Nikon 50-135 3.5.
Check out reports you can find. It is with good reason a cult classic and can be bought today for reasonable prices.
Will post some pictures later |
Seems to be another highly recommended lens:

Oooops. Reading carefully has advantages.
But I second the Tokina 60-120 2.8 Also a very fine lens. I think it is generally rare. But there is a good copy on eBay about once a month.
Edit .S. In my version the Tokina focus turns like Nikon, I am not sure if different mounts turn in different direction? |
hmm, anyone that have this lens in another mount could confirm this?

The Minolta 50-135mm should be a good choice also...

Even though I don't have this lens now but based on what I've read, you may need the Canon EF 80-200 f/2.8 L. If you're lucky you can buy them with the $500-$600, which is still less than half of a second hand 70-200mm f/2.8 L.
The IQ of this lens is as good as 70-200, except the push-pull mechanism and non-USM, but this lens' owners don't find these as critical points.
I planned to buy 70-200 but I changed my mind and I'll get this 80-200 whenever it's possible to me.
Good luck _________________
