I have used the 35mm on FT and am using it now on mFT. It is certainly a great lens, but there are four reasons why I'll switch to the 60mm:

  • working distance, butterflies with the 35mm are nearly impossible

  • splash proofing, great in combination with my E-M5

  • 60mm has a focus-limiter

  • I've sold my E-5

The 50mm is also splash-proof, but you would need to add the MMF-3 sealed adapter, and it only does 1:2 magnification while lacking a focus limiter.

In terms of image quality, they are probably all good enough!

The picture below is a slight crop with the 35mm on the E-M5, with some minor stuff done in Aperture to the JPEG (not RAW).
