Moose, you can't say that, we love the OM system is not only for its camera,
the Zuikos definitely have something that the others are missing. You can
only feel it but it cannot be measured technically or at this moment there
is no equipment to do that ;-)
I'm sure you cannot replace the 90/2 with 85/2 and 100/2, it is a legendary
lens with magic glow. It improve the image quality of 35mm to medium format
level, believe me, I have all three lenses. Oh! I just acquired a 40/2, yes,
the one designed for press photographer, I will see how it improve my shoots
and I believe it will do ;-)

Sorry to see you have missed so much :-)

If I am a picture taker rather than a collector, why spend a lot
of money on an 85-250/5 when I can get a 60-300 which is the same speed
at 250, goes longer at essentially the same speed, is faster at shorter
fls, is at least the performance equal and includes quality REAL macro
(1:1.6, not the 1:4 that is marketed as macro) all for less than half
the price you are talking about. My actual recommendation in general for
a first zoom would be something in the 35-200ish range, and Oly got out
of the game before producing such a thing.
The only Zuiko soom that really impresses me is the 35-70/3.5-4.5.

* ok, so I don't have a 40mm, I have 35mm, many 50mms and 2 different
35-70 zooms. And I don't have a 90mm, but I have an 85 and a 100mm.
Close enough??
