Yes, you're perfectly right, the 100/2,8 (he, she or it, take your pick)
is a nice lens. So that's why I'm feeling guilty at having the poor
thing sit in a drawer. (And the 90 is not even the stellar Zuiko
90/2 but "only" the still-great Tamron 90/2,5 macro -- I often want
the extra closeup possibility, and the lens is sharp and contrasty,
too).
So I often wonder if I ought to let it go to a new home where it'll
be appreciated as it ought to be. It's a silvernose, paint a little
worn but otherwise in good shape.
Are you in France, too? (You're Danish, right? I'm a German, living
in Paris.)

ROTFL! No, Doro is _not_ my wife (I'd not be surprised if she clarified
herself). She's "just" the one who let the 200/4 make the move from
her place to mine... And for what it's worth, since I don't live in
the Netherlands, there's not much hope for me to ever acquire a wife
(*). IOW, I'm a woman :)

No, it wasn't me who upset you. It might have been Doro, though :)
Best,
