Re: Legacy fast prime - or alternative ?

Oly primes will work just fine on M43 bodies with an adapter.  I have the Oly OM 50 f1.4, 50 f1.8, 50 macro f3.5, 100 f2.8, 135 f2.8 and the 200 f4.  I also have the modern oly 25 f1.8 and the 45 f1.8.  I started with the legacy lenses to save money, and if you don't mind using a manual lens, they still give good results.  The newer lenses are smaller and excellent, but if you are on a tight budget, check out the legacy lenses.  I chose Olympus legacy lenses because they are good, fairly cheap to buy, and more petite than some of the other brands.

Peace.  ...and Best Wishes

John
