Hello Toni

According to a test in a British photo magazine about 5 years ago, it is a
very good lens with good sharpness and contrast. They found it to be a bit
low in contrast and sharpness at F2, (improving a lot on F2.8), but I think
this actually is on purpose from Olympus' side for portrait reasons and
common for most fast 85 mm lenses.

It is a small and very nice lens. The 100/2 is a bit better, and you can go
closer with that, but it is also much bigger and much heavier - and more
expensive.

If you can get the 85 mm for a reasonable price (I don't know what that'll
be in Brazil with your high import taxes), I'd say go for it.

Lars
