Between your 2 cameras you have 35 and 90mm macros. If you want to
complete the macro picture you could add a Zuiko 50 f/2 or f/3.5. There
is also a Zuiko 20mm but that is a specialized beast, closer to
microscopy than macro.
But I wasn't asking a macro question. I was talking about more normal,
everyday photography. Or don't you intend to do that or not do that
with this camera? Even 35mm is short telephoto on a 4/3 body.
