Day light, olympus pen e-p5 75 mm 1.8

New to th micro 4/3, Coming from Pentax 645d, Nikon D4, D800 and skeptical of the smaller sensor size of the M4/3. I bought the olympus e-p5 with 5 primes for the size factor. the olympus 75mm 1.8 is simply amazing. Size, build quality are superb. Sharpness, bokhen and colors are unbelievable. of the 5 primes 12mm,17mm,45mm,75mm Olympus and 25 mm Leica, the 75 mm is my favourite of the group. 150 mm f 1.8 is a good portrait range with exceptional quality.

...it's either a 75mm f/1.8 or 150mm f/3.6 FF equivalent, but not a 150mm f/1.8 -- that would be a rather larger, heavier, and more expensive lens (think the Olympus 150 / 2).

Ironic, by the way, that your pic is at 75mm f/5, though. 

Do not hesitate to buy it.

It's a stellar lens for those that want a 75 / 1.8.
