Re: 7.5mm FE, 20mm f/1.7, 45mm f/1.8

  • Rokinon 7.5mm Fisheye, because I enjoy playing with the unique perspectives a fisheye can capture. I also own rectilinear wide lenses like the 9-18mm, but the fisheye is special and can always be de-fished with very good results as well
  • 20mm f/1.7 - the lens that tempted me to buy a m4/3 camera in 2010. Beautifully compact with excellent image quality and a focal length that pleasantly splits the difference between a 17mm and a 25mm. It provided a FOV that works for so many situations. AF is slower than my other lenses, but still faster than the MF Rokinon!
  • Oly 45mm f/1.8 - versatile enough for indoor and outdoor portraits, as well as any general photography that calls for a modest telephoto. Excellent IQ and fast AF. I wish it had slightly better build and a better MF ring, but on the other hand its tiny size and feather weight is part of its charm.

Those are my 3 as well. All tiny, all quite sharp. Great lenses.
