I read that the 75mm F1.8 was made by Sigma (they had a patent for exactly the same design as the Olympus). Yes it is an extraordinary lens, i love it.The 45 and 90 are Zeiss? The 75/1.8 m.Zuiko is really awesome, the 45/1.8 m.Zuiko (rumored to be actually designed at Konika) is not as sharp, but looks very nice as well. How do yours compare? But I have not heard anyone happy with full frame support of 28, 24, 21 and 18(!!) lenses except those using the M9, M240 and that bizarre Ricoh unit that takes an M bayonet mount. And those (well, we) still grumble... I have an ancient Canon thread-mount 19/3.5 that no present digital platform can get a good picture from, yet it focuses on an M rangefinder so I would like to use it.

Yes, the 45mm F2 and 90mm F2.8 i was speaking of are Zeiss Contax G lenses. I had a Contax G2 outfit during film times. On film FF the 45mm was sharper in the corners, but on MFT the 90mm makes a very nice longer tele. With the Contax G2 the focus was a little hit and miss during film times. With MFT and MF i never have that problem. That lens is very light and i love using it on MFT.
