Hi Jason,
The 85/f2 is my favorite Zuiko. I also have a Vivitar 100/f2.8 macro, one
of which you might look for if the pockets are not deep enough for the
Zuiko 100. I love it. But the 85 has the classic Olympus virtues: it's
compact and sharp and feels absolutely natural on an OM body. Great for
handheld shooting. I find it to be perfect for portraiture in OM. I paid
nearly $250 to KEH for my MC version. I've become a little more miserly
since then (in other words I think you could find a good SC example for a
lot less), but I don't miss the money when I think about what I've got.
Good luck,
Joel
