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.
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.

Thanks in advance
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;
