Thinking of something narrower: Panasonic 42.5 F/1.7, Olympus 45mm F/1.8 or Sigma 30mm F/2.8

Re: Thinking of something narrower: Panasonic 42.5 F/1.7, Olympus 45mm F/1.8 or Sigma 30mm F/2.8

I put my camera at 30mm with the 14-42 and I like it, at 30mm it's a little more than a stop slower than the Sigma 30mm F/2.8 which is significant. I would be using it when I wanted a slightly tighter crop and for portraits. I think having some background in portraits is nicer than an 85mm or 90mm portrait which is basically only the person. If the Sigma was just a bit faster I'd buy it tomorrow. Even if its negative space the 60mm frame is nice.
