Tough choice Roger! I would go for the 85 myself as I like the fact that
it is faster. When I am shooting indoors it is a really nice lens, easy
to focus and the extra stop can be real handy, especially in a
telephoto. It is also so nice and very compact. I actually offed my
Tamron 90/2.5 in favor of the Zuiko. with an extension tube or two the
Zuiko does real well for most Macro work (unless you are doing flat copy
work) and the combo is very light, compact, and easy to carry. Combined
with a 28 f/2, a 40 f/2 or any of the Zuiko 50s you have a nice set of
fast lenses that all take 49mm filters!

Here is a decision list members will doubtless wish to assist me with; if I
decide to keep only one of the two lenses in question, should I keep a
single-coated 85/f2 or a multi-coated100/2.8 (both Zuikos)? Both lenses are
in excellent condition. I could mention that I also have a couple of 90/2.5
Tamron Macro lenses (1:2), and a Vivitar 90/2.8 1:1 Macro (I should sell a
couple of those too).
