Hello,

As I have decided to stay with micro four-thirds, I have decided to buy a lens or two. I currently only have the Olympus 25mm 1.8

Because you already have fast standard lens which can be used for portraits and low light photography I would go for Oly 9-18. Focal range 9-12mm is perfect for landscapes while 14-18mm is perfect for journalistic photography. So you can use just this one lens for various purposes. Oly 9-18 is small, light and reasonably sharp (better than standard kit lenses). Front element is flat and it's easy to use filters. Most usefull lens in my opinion.
