Re: Olympus 4/3 mount 50 f/2 - worth it?

Like Daddyo  I own both lenses and his advice is spot on.  I also already owned the 50 from my 4:3 days and it's an excellent piece of glass but I wouldn't buy it for m4:3.  I really think the 45 is all you need for portraits.  If I was going to get a macro lens for m4:3 I'd get the 60, but if that's not in your budget then the 30 is supposed to be pretty good from what I've read.  As other's have mentioned the 50 is also slow focusing and of course requires an adaptor.
