Legacy fast prime - or alternative ?

Highwave's recent thread on the Mitakon 25mm f0.95 had me reaching for my wallet - until I saw on the manufacturer's website that that particular lens will not work with EPL-6 (which is the m4/3 camera I have). I do quite a lot of low-light work - and frequently find myself reaching for the widest aperture available to me (f3.5 in the case of the 14-42mm II R kit lens) and highest ISO setting I dare go without having to do too much noise reduction in PP. I can just about work with ISO 12800 - but 6400 would be better and 3200 would be perfect. All hand held with IS on and shutter speeds not slower that 1/30s. (Can't use flash).

Alas, my wallet won't stretch to any of Oly's/Panny's premium price range - which is why I am wondering if any of Oly's legacy lenses - for example the 50mm f1.4 could come in handy. I already use the 35-70mm Zuiko legacy lens (off my old OM-10) on my EPL6 via the adaptor - and I can just about handle the dexterity needed. Anyone have any experience with legacy fast primes on micro 4/3 ?? Is there a more modern, but more budget-friendly alternative that might be worth considering ?

Thanks

Not a bad idea to reuse the good old fast primes especially most of them might mean no addition cost to us (my Nikon MF ai lenses were long forgotten after invention of AF), or if bought were still very cheap nowadays, adapter cost small and the excellent MF assist tools of M43 (focus point magnification, focus peaking), it just make MF focus fast and easy to use.

I like my old Nikkor ai 50 f/1.4 and 28 f/2 on my <US$10 adapter. The total cost is only <US$10!
