The only reason is the speed? What if I find that the 85 mm length
works well for me? If I like the way the 85 and I get along should I
toss it out because I don't use the f/2 speed and shoot a lot at 5.6 or
8?
The Zuiko 85 f/2 is a good lens, as are the others you mention. But to
say that its only saving grace is the speed is, IMHO, a rather poor
thing to say about it. After all, art and photography are expressions
of one's self. What works for one may or may not work for all.
