Remember that the 85 was originally for protraits, so razor sharp may not
always be desirable.

The 90/2 is a much larger lens, with the unusual feature of havin the
aperture at the rear of the lens, instead of out front like most Zuikos.
The 90 produces images at f/2 that are much sharper and crisper than the 85.
They almost have a 3-D quality. The 85 is much smoother. This difference
is likely due to the better correction of the 90. This isn't to say that
the 85 is poor wide-open, but it's not in the class with the 90.
I actually liked the 100/2 better than the 90 due to handling, but the 90
gets the nod as it has the macro capability. IMO, the 90/2 is probably the
most un-Zuiko-like lens in the whole lineup (except the Cosina lenses).
