Very nice shot. I like the use of limited DOF with the soft knees.

I wonder how a poor man's 75/1.8 would do? (50/1.8 + speed booster)

Well, you would have to stand a lot closer to the model. The OP's picture was 150mm FOV with the Oly 75 while you have 70mm FOV with a nifty fifty and a 1/1.4X reducer.

Maybe a new Samyang 85mm f1.4 for half the price of the 75, or an old FD 85mm f1.8 for even less could be  the poor man's substitute.
