The 75mm

I own the 25mm & 45mm & have the 12mm on my wish list.

Same opinion here. I have the 45mm and the 25mm, and am planning on getting the 12mm as soon as my wallet recovers from the 25mm purchase.

I've read that the 75mm is a good lens, but I personally wouldn't get much use out of it. It isn't long enough to really reach out to distant objects, it's too long for most "portrait" situations that I would encounter, and so I just wouldn't use it.

I find the 45mm just perfect for portraits, and it's fast enough to do a decent job of blurring backgrounds. The 25mm is a great all-around lens, although I frequently wish I had something wider, which is why I want the 12mm.

In retrospect, with the Oly rebates going on, I wish I had bought the 12mm before the 25mm...

I bought the 75 and won't get rid of it. I'm changing the way I shoot to accommodate this lens. So for me, the cut would be at the 12mm or 45mm.
