Elmer:
Can't go wrong with the Oly Zuiko 100mm F/2.0, though it's pricey. It's the
lens I use most often for portraits, and I love it (though I've recently had to
send it to the shop to get some slight fungal infestation cleaned out of it
after fourteen or so years' worth of use...). Many on the List swear by the
Zuiko 85mm F/2.0. I have no experience with it.
There's also the Vivitar Series One 90mm F/2.5 macro lens, which does a
kick-ass job of portraiture (I'm actually thinking of selling mine, 'cause my
spousal unit claims I have too many lenses which are of similar focal length
[sigh, she's correct...].) 'Sides, gotta finance the cleaning of the 100mm...
Oh, and its macro capabilities are quite good, too.
