OM2s - great camera - spot metering - can use 2 series screens (bright) -
spares no
longer available - some examples can develop a high battery drain in standby
mode
(no true off) and can eat batteries.
check out Gary Reese's tests of the lenses you mentioned. There is also a file
containing a compilation of magazine tests of many zuikos at Lee Hawkins site.

The 90mm f2 macro is a terrific performer, at any distance IMO. Outstanding
bokeh
and colour rendition aside from the usual criteria. They are fairly hard to
find SH
because people hang on to them I suspect. Goodness, some people have even been
known to buy them new ;-)
