Re: Well, what do you mean by 1.8?

Try setting camera to Aperture mode. Adjust aperture on lens, ISO on camera, then let your camera pick the shutter (and resulting proper exposure).
I have gotten wonderful and reliable results with my:
Canon FD 50mm f1.8 $35,
Canon FD 70-210mm f4 $60
Canon FD 50 mm Macro f3.5 $75
Minolta Rokkor 58mm f1.4 $50
Nikon Micro 55mm f2.8 (one of the sharpest Nikon lenses ever) $200

I use FOTODIOX and FOTASY adapters, $25-35 each.

The field of view on ALL lenses mounted on m43 camera bodies is 2x.
45mm = 90mm in full frame. The Aperture is THE SAME. The Depth of Field DOF is also 2x.
So a f1.4 lens will have an approximate DOF of a f2.8 lens on a Full Frame body.
