Picked up the 45 today

First reactions:  Man is it small!!  Focus is fast, acurate, and virtually silent.  Sharp sharp sharp!!!  Nice contrasty images even in standard mode.  Very nice to hand hold cradled at chest with the screen facing upward.  The lens barrel is just the right size that you could easily find serveral things around the house or garage to modify into a custom slip over hood.

My initial images are mostly of tape measures, text, and camera bag straps :).  But I'm really liking what I see.  There's even plenty of decent b/g bokeh when close focusing on objects.

The 45 will keep my itch at bay for awhile.  Hopefully long enough to wait for 3rd party makers to offer up interesting options to the 75mm.
