Pros:	Fast, sharp, great manual focus feel, pleasing bokeh
Cons:	0.9m close focus distance

This is a great choice as a portrait lens for Micro Four Thirds with the only real drawback being that the close focus distance isn't as close as I would have liked.

I used this lens with an M39 to MFT adapter bought for $50 on Ebay from jinfinance (link) and found that it worked perfectly with this adapter. Alternatively, one could combine an M39 to M mount adapter with an M mount to MFT adapter.

A few samples with this lens, the first two at f/1.5 and the third at f/2.8:
