You might rethink it some and go with a 135mm. I notice Hermanson has one for sale, which means it'll come to you pristine. The thing is, with a bit longer lens you'll have more reach when you need it. It's often easier to back up a few steps than to get closer.

By the way, I've never worked with this Zuiko so I can't comment on its personality--should it have one.

Dear enablers:

I am looking to purchase (in the near future) a short telephoto for
capturing architectural details.  I was figuring that the 85/2 would do
since this is the focal length that seems to look the best to my eye,
but now you have me concerned about the sharpness.  Any opinions on
which one to get?  What is the relative performance of the 100/2.8, and
how does the 85/2 perform w/ the 2x-A?  any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks!
