I had a similar problem with a Tamron 28mm on my 2n.  It worked fine on the 
omG, but i think the tab that controls aperture was getting in the path of 
the mirror.  It looked like the mirror was going up from the viewfinder, but 
I don't think it had a full range of motion.  Maybe there is a little more 
depth from the mounting ring to the mirror on the omG?  The same "little 
twist" fixed the problem on mine as well.  I doubt it has anything with the 
shutter or batteries, as you would see the problem with every lens.  I have 
another 28, so I've just been using that instead, but my bet is that you 
could shorten that aperture tab a bit and it would still function well, while 
giving the mirror clearance.  I'm no sure how you'd feel about taking a metal 
file to your 90/2 though!  It may also be repairable through a mirror 
adjustment.
Hope that was helpful,
Evan
