Tough choice, Sean. I have both and I often debate which to take (though
now I have an f/2 100 and the f/2.8 gets much less use). For an indoor
portrait shoot last summer I was glad that I had the 85 since I was working
in very cramped quarters.
I think that my first choice would be the 85, at least partly because thae
quoted price is a very good buy (if in good condition) though on occassion
you may wish for just a little more space that the 100 would give you (a
nervous subject, for instance).

Subject: [OM] Portrait lens
Hello Zuiks,
I'm hoping to buy a "portrait length" lens and am wondering about two
lenses in particular, both of which i've found available locally: the
Zuiko 100/2.8 (with hood, $225 CAD or about $140 USD), and the Zuiko
85/2 ($295 CAD or about $185 USD).
I guess i'm wondering about people's experiences with these lenses,
keeping in mind that i'm wanting one mostly for portraiture purposes.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Sean D.
