Welcome to the OM family!
You inherited a very nice kit and will thoroughly enjoy it.
Here's one man's opinion.
Don't sell the 28/2.8 for the 24/2.8 yet. They're both fine lenses, but
you'll find the 28 very useful. It's worth around $75 or less, so if
anything, I'd keep it and add the 24/2.8.
The 100/2.8 and 135/2.8 both have smooth boken, but personally I think the
100/2.8 is 'smoother'. It's a more useful portrait lens too. Most
importantly, the 135/2.8 takes 55mm filters (the 135/3.5 uses 49mm) while
the 100/2.8 takes 49mm. Others to consider are the 75-150/4 zoom and the
85/2 both of which use 49mm filters.
For now, I'd just shoot, shoot, shoot!
Thanks,
Tom
