I only know of the Fujifilm 24-50 that has a fastish 24mm f/2.8 on the wide end and 50mm f/5.6 on the long end. Any others out there with a faster lens on the longer end than 50mm? out to 90?

I'm taking my little zoom cameras with me to shoot my daughter bowling. No flash allowed. I can get all the pics I want with the RX100 but more fun adding a film camera in the mix. Olympus Epic 115 used Tuesday with 800 ISO film and nothing usable from the tele end of the camera. I'm going to another bowling match and bringing the Fuji 24-50 with HP5 and a Canon Sureshot Z180 ( 180mm on the long end! ) with Superia 800.

I could maybe try my Nikon LTM 85/2 on my Hexar, but last time I used the Hexar in a bowling alley I had a hard time focusing.

From Tuesday with the Oly Zoom 115 and Superia 800. A few more keepers but now I know my limitations.

Strange, i was about to write up the exact same post today... I have the fuji silvi but wanted to see if there's something that has a bit more reach, but still retain a fairly wide aperture. The hexar af hasn't let me down (knock on wood) but my silvi's have been pretty hit or miss. The oly zoom stylus has a pretty small aperture on the tele end...also, i just loaded my silvi with hp5 this morning...spooky :D
 
Konica Lexio 70 - 70mm at long end, unfortunately at cost of slower f/7.9 (that's f/8!) aperture. But interface is very, very good. Enjoyed it while it didn't suffer from lens defect (corner issues).
 
Almost forgot, there's the Rollei QZ35T which sports a 38-90mm f2.8-5.6. May try one out myself :) Designed by porsche and has an external potato masher flash (so not so compact at that point obviously)
