Just to throw a late hat into the ring. I had the 75mm. Loved it. Sharp. Amazing for intimate portraits and small venue concert photography. Great bokeh. A veritable gem to behold. But I recently sold it!! The 75/150mm fov is definitely difficult to use unless you have a lot of room, so I didn't use it very often. Plus, I really wanted a black paint version! That said, when the black version(s) are available, I will actually be buying the 45mm. I have always like using 50mm legacy glass on MFT, and I think the 45 will be a much more useful lens for me. Oh, I may buy the 75 again one day just to have it, but for now, a black 45mm is on pre-order.

I have a black OMD with the silver 45. Do you think I'd get better IQ with the black lens?

I don't have any black lenses except for my two Pansonics (25 1.4, 100-300). Gotta rethink my strategy now.

Kidding, of course.
