I just got a 85/2 for about ~$180, which is a good price, but it has oily
blades :-( So far it doesn't hurt anything. I suspect this will be one of
my most used lens, along w/ the 40/2 for its small size. The 85/2 has that
nice portrait lens quality not to reveal too much details while remain
sharp. The 50/2 is terrible for that.

Hello Zuiks,
I'm hoping to buy a "portrait length" lens and am wondering about two
lenses in particular, both of which i've found available locally: the
Zuiko 100/2.8 (with hood, $225 CAD or about $140 USD), and the Zuiko
85/2 ($295 CAD or about $185 USD).
I guess i'm wondering about people's experiences with these lenses,
keeping in mind that i'm wanting one mostly for portraiture purposes.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
