Hello,
I've been wondering about this for a while now. My 45mm f/1.8 was one of my favorite lenses for a while. However, since I got my 12-40, I find I use my 45 a lot less and usually when I do use it, its because I tell myself that I should. I still find it takes great pictures and that it has a little something more than what my 12-40 does at 40mm.
I am wondering if I should trade my 45 for a 75mm. It would be a focal length I do not really have (other than my 75-300, but its not for the same situations). I know the 45 can usually be used in more situations than the 75 and that its an hefty investment. I've had the 75mm for a bit, but I sold it because I needed the money.
My other concern is that with the 12-40 + 75 instead of 12-40 + 45, I would have 2 big (by m43 standards) lenses, rather than a big and a small one which would mean I wouldn't have a really compact lens other than with my Rokinon 7.5mm FE.
So, I've been wondering for a while now and I think I could use some words of wisdom from someone else.
Edit: Forgot to say, but I've got someone offering me his 75mm for my 45mm + 475 CAD
