That's a hard one.  The Zuiko 50 f2 macro is a superb lens - very sharp.  I think it is better than the m43 60 macro - except for focus speed, and size.  I like mine a lot, and am not to worried about focus speed as macro works best with manual focus IMO.  BUT, for portraits, it might be a problem.  I also have the 45 f1.8 and the Sigma f2.8.  Both of them are very sharp - just excellent lenses.  I will keep my Zuiko 50 f2 macro thought.  it may be the sharpest of the bunch, although the other two will give it a run for the money.  Who says you can only have one or them?

This is Sahara taken with the Zuiko 50mm f2 Macro on one of our walks.

Peace.
