I had one for about 20 years that served me well. It was very sharp. It
produced a very slight warm cast that was distinctly different from my Zuikos.
I used it a LOT for everything from macro to portraits.
Look on this page: http://www.skipwilliams.com/gallery/nature-gallery1.htm.
All the flower pictures were taken with the 90/2.5 Macro, some with the
extender.
It's a heavy sucker, as are all the top-line Series 1 lenses of that era.
Check for fungus.
It was sold when a Zuiko 90/2 came my way. The Zuiko is sharper and has a more
3D quality though.
