Sorry I´ve the 35mm/2 already, but I would trade in an 100mm/2 against
an 35-105mm Zuiko (I don´t have it, but I know a place were one stands
in the window for 3 month). I think this is fair, because someone has
pointed out, that the resoluting power of the zoom is better as the
prime. ;-)
Alternativly, I would trade in an 90mm/2 Macro Zuiko for an 85-250mm
Zuiko (same conditions). ;-)

Not personaly, but not even Olympus claims, that there zooms as good as
there primes. They write "compareable" not "as good as the primes in
every respect". I know just of one case, when Canon claimed, that there
24-35mm/3.5 FD zoom is better as there respecting primes. And this was a
very expensive lens. I´ve never heard such again from an lens
manufactor.
