I use the 85/2 with some Olympus close-up lens - am satisfied with that in
lack of the 90/2. I don't know the exact close focusing distance, but I
think it goes to about 20-30 cm. I can check, if anyone are interrested.

I've not tried to compare it to other macro-setups (yet). Would be
interresting.
