I've been playing with my new 45 mm lens on my omd and realise how much depth of field control there is. I've taken some portraits at f1.8 and can see that they might have been better with a wider dof. I'd be interested in what f stop other people are using for portraits with this lens.

Depends entirely on the distance to subject and the distance between the subject and background.  For example, if you're shooting a head shot at f/2 and the subject is against a wall or backdrop, you'll get nice BG blur.  But if your subject is standing outside and the nearest object is 300 yards away, the BG will be obliterated.
