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.

Sure, don't even bother to respond. Because after reading lenstip review (who test lenses on obsolete 12MP sensor) and seeing photo of one guy you've got so wide and comprehensive view of the matter that you can safely ignore us, peasants, who felt for gimmicky F1.8 aperture and now crawling in the dark, whithout even knowing how superior Sigma F2.8 lens is comparing to Olympus F1.8.
