Between your 2 cameras you have 35 and 90mm macros.  If you want to 
complete the macro picture you could add a Zuiko 50 f/2 or f/3.5.  There 
is also a Zuiko 20mm but that is a specialized beast, closer to 
microscopy than macro.

But I wasn't asking a macro question.  I was talking about more normal, 
everyday photography.  Or don't you intend to do that or not do that 
with this camera?  Even 35mm is short telephoto on a 4/3 body.
