I can second his opinion on the 90/2.5 I love it too!
I hate the 1:1 adapter (2xconvertor) because of the troublesome mounting and
dismounting of this item ant the OM-adapter ring.
As for being heavy, I also have the 100/2.8 with which I am quite happy too.
It's smaller tha many 50mm lenses of other brands.
