The 75mm is brilliant but it is a truly weird focal length.  I rented it recently and the sharpness blew me away.  Definitely a specialty lens and priced accordingly.  I suspect the 45mm will be a lot more versatile.  Of course, if you can afford both, get both!

Not that weird.  It's pretty much the same angle of view as the 135mm that was my most used lens on my OM film cameras.  Very much an outdoors lens, I would say.  Indoors I choose the 45mm for portraits.
