The 100/2 is a wonderful lens - big, heavy, expensive, sharp as a tack (Gary 
R. described it as one of the sharpest Zuiko's). If I didn't already have 
one, I might be inclined to go with the 90/2 instead, although the 100/2 does 
focus quite close, and with extension tubes I find it a servicable macro 
lens. I only dabble in macro, and I find it and the 50/1.8 fun to play with 
and give me good results.
