You only mentioned Zuikos, Dynszis, but should not forget that owners get one of the best weather-sealings with them. Mentioning the Nikon 300/4: Only the old. 1.4 kg one is a bit lower than 1500€, the fresh,lighter PF version will cost you 1800 .- is still two stops slower and sealing wise I would trust it to resist a dozen raindrops. Maybe two dozen, if I'm in a risky mood.

 

But it has lost the huge resolution of the old one. The next, fast competitors are a Nikon 200/2, 300/2.8 and both will take 5200.- € from your bank account. Each. A Zeiss 135/2 is 1900.- € and a good project to learn focussing manually.
