Chris:
In my experience I have found that the 85/2 is an invaluable lens that
can be as "normal" or "tele" as you want it to be. I also found after
using a 90/2 I didn't like it very much at all. To me, if one wants
infinity to (approx.) 1/2 life size, the 135/4.5 and AT work perfectly!
Much easier to focus, better working distance, better bokeh... I know
that the 90/2 could also be brought to 1:1 with some extra extension
tubes, but if you are going to go to the trouble of putting something on
the lens, why not make it a 80/4?
I would also suggest that you get the feel of the 90/2 before you
purchase it. To me it does not feel like a Zuiko, and isn't very nice
to use. Again, I am probably in the minority on this one, but I'd say
don't buy the 90/2.

I hope that I like my 90/2 enough to sell the 85/2 (perhaps not, it's
so compact), the 100/2.8 and the Tamron Macro 90/2.8...
