I am really sad since I've lost my 75/1.8... I have several M43 lenses, but no one can stand up with the 75 for my needs (stage shooting, mostly). Since I don't feel myself all that reach in this moment, I was considering of buying the Samyang/Rokinon 85/1,4. Is there anybody who could state if, beside the AF lacking, those lenses are comparable on M43? The longer FL is not an issue for me, BTW.
Thanks in advance

Focusing is stiff, it feels cheap, the hood is often loose, but it makes really nice photos.

I do not think there are really quite many substitutes for 75 1.8. It seems so good. Still I am happy with old Zuiko 100 2.8 which is sharp WO. A cheap and compact 135 2.8 could also be a match given the low cost and optically acceptable capabilities this FL inherited.

I have to agree with you. The 75/1.8 and 42.5 Nocticron are two of the best m43 lenses. Here's a shot with the 75 at f1.8.

Yaaaayyyyy!!!!
I've just had the phonecall I was waiting for: My lens popped out from the office of a man who works into the company where I forgot my 75; He kept it away from occasional thieves, and this evening I am going to bring it home;
Sorry for such a personal digression!
