Nice pics! Yes the 45/1.8 is a little ripper of a lens that's for sure.
That 75/1.8 is an order of magnitude better.
  H e r e  are some of mine with the 45 ...  It happens to include some people ... no drama and not the slightest bit intimidating.  That's a nice thing about this gear - its smallness makes it easier to connect with the subject.

Emma ..

Oh ... The 12mm/f2.0 - also worth a look but more costly than the 45
I like the 17 for 'normal use' too

Well designed gear performs better for longer than well marketed gear.
Odd that people complain a lens is not sharp enough,
and then proceed to make pics where 95% is OOF ..
