this is just going to spur up comparisons to various 85mm designs. and then arguments for DOF. And then arguments for physical vs FOV comparisons. And end with buy it if it makes you happy =P

That will just change the question to 'Will this lens make me happy?'

And then on the other hand,
The cheap M. Zuiko 17mm ƒ2.8 is not well accepted by many Micro Four Thirds shooters.....

Actually, I have owned the Canon and Sony in the past and now own the 75. They are all excellent lenses but I wouldn't want anything other than the Oly on my OM D so I wonder what the point of the question is.

The point is....
1) M. Zuiko has a 35mm effective focal length of 150mm....

2) So if you were shooting full frame and you wanted a fast prime with +100mm focal length, you're going to pay quite a bit more than the cost of the M. Zuiko 75mm...

Why are you asking a question that you already know the answer to?
(See, I can be sarcastic too)
