Nice portrait, Richard! To my eyes, the 90/2 on an E camera carries
through all the virtues associated with it in FF (full film!) use.
Most of the closer work in this gallery was done with E-1 and 90/2:

It becomes a nearly 200mm macro (which I used to think would have been
nice to have back when they were still developing the OM system --
like I could have afforded such a thing!). And speaking of 200mm, the
old Zuikos of that length which were ill-served by the resonance/shake
problems of the OM system really shine on an E camera.
