The old Leica non-6 bit coded 90mm 2.8 Elmarit. I have one and it's a fantastic lens on the OMD. It makes a great long portrait lens. Tack sharp when you want it to be and awesome color. For about the same price as a new 75 it's a no brainer.

This is a quick candid of a co-worker standing outside in the shade of the building. First shot with the 90 when i got my cheap leica adapter.

And this is another shot indoors with natural light

Both images focused easily with the OMD viewfinder, no magnification needed. Both were shot raw and processed through LR4. The first had no processing other than the default LR settings and I don't recall doing anything special with the second one either.
