Either look at the Olympus 45mm or the Sigma 60mm for cheaper, longer lenses or look at the Olympus 12mm which can be had down to $550 on ebay, or the Olympus 9-18 for similar prices. If you want a cheaper 12mm option look at the Panasonic 12-32, it has better optics than the Olympus 12-50 and is much better suited to the E-PM2.

I have the Sigma 60/2.8 and can vouch that it is an optically stellar lens at a bargain price.

The 45/1.8 is another good option - it's not quite as good optically, but is faster and IMO a slightly easier working distance for casual and candid portraiture.

According to Blunty, the Olympus 45 is sharper...
