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.

Not to belittle the 75 f1.8, take a look at the new Sigma 60 f2.8.

It is better still - and 1/4 the price.

It's not better at F1.8 for sure. 1/4 price for about 1/4 of aperture area. Same $ value per square mm of aperture, but 4x larger aperture is 4x better.

Besides, F2.8 is too slow for primes on m4/3. F5.6 FF equivalent is FF kit zoom territory.

This is such a narrow view on the validity of a lens that I am not going to respond any further.
