Body: Olympus E-PM2

Currently I have

- Olympus Kit lens II R 14-42 f3.5-5.6

- Panasonic Lumix GX 45-175 f4-5.6

- Olympus 17mm f1.8

Right now I feel I am pretty well covered when speed is not important and I slap on the 17mm when I take the camera out at night for better low light performance.

I was thinking of either getting the Olympus 45 1.8 or the Sigma 60 2.8 next for a faster medium tele / portrait lens / background blurring.

Or a 14mm f2.5 pancake to always keep on camera to put in jacket pocket. (Don't know how useful this is as I already have the 17mm and the kit lens covers 14mm but its significantly smaller than both)

Or if I can find a good bargain than the Pan Leica 25mm f1.4.

It's a question of personal preference. I put my money into the sigma 60mm, which I love and find more useful. Instead of the 45mm I use a cheap, fast Hexanon legacy 50mm.
