Your post is a little bit strange and shows once again that a lot of people in these forums do not put much thought into the gear they are buying

on the first paragraph on the lens being too sharp , reading any of the lens previews reviews would have told you so

the last point makes even LESS sense. you have finally established that the 75mm is not for you ( and I believe this would be true for MOST users on this forum) . so how does the price of a lens you do not need is relevant to your system of choice

Thanks for confirming what I already suspected: I'm a confused consumer. I'm so glad for the clarity these forums can bring to my thought process

Before I bought it, I honestly thought the 75/1.8 was going to improve the results I'm getting from the current gear. The reviews make it seem like a magic lens.

You re welcome . Hopefully this thread can help OTHER people to be more wary when investing in a new lens

and  your last comment further prove my point . it does not matter how sharp and good a lens is if the focal length is of little or no use to your photography

for me , there is only ONE thing that would make me get that lens,: it is to have oly bring a very high end weather proof 2X extender so then it gets me a very good and portable 300 mm which is one of the only 4 ( or 5 if I wanted to cover 100%)  lenses that I would need
