Hi,

I currently host the Olympus user's mailing list, but am too busy to contribute 
much lately. I'll forward your message to the list for response from the 
members. 
I have no first hand experience with the 90/2, but by all accounts I've heard, 
it is one of the best Zuikos ever, which means one of the best from any 
manufacturer. I'd love to have this lens, but have to settle for an 85/2 for 
now, which is also a *very* nice lens. Lately, the 21/3.5 and 85/2 have been 
my most used lenses.
