Oh, I wasn't asking strictly for myself. :-) I am pretty
satisfied with the 90/2 as a portrait lens. The 85/1.4 was
part of a long list of lenses I submitted which I thought
would make the Zuiko lineup imminently impressive. For
those engaged in serious stage/theater photography, an
85/1.4 and 180/2 would be absolute heaven. Personally, I
would find a 35/1.4 interesting to own, however.
