Welcome to EPZ, Jerry.

If your budget is £100 you are looking at second-hand. What lenses have you got at present?

I have seen a Olympus OM 85-250mm f5 lens, would this work with an adapter ring and if so what type of adapter would I need ?

I take it that your interested in legacy lenses + adaptors.

You say your interested in telephoto, but what kind of focal length.

With a budget of £100 this could be enough for two or three lenses plus an adapter it you shop around.

I put a bit up here on legacy lenses + a G2.

One of these, but I find that zooms of this nature are best avoided.

Here`s a few zuiko`s, there`s also Canon FD, Pentax, Nikon etc, all every bit as good.

If you want a selection its probably best to get all the lenses in the same mount, to save on carrying loads of different adapters.
