Quote: I get your point about candids, but they're not my sort of thing, or people of any kind for that matter. I have an uncanny ability to make a supermodel look like a relative of Quasimodo, so gave up on portraits (other than my son) a while ago.
I can recognise talent when I see it. I only ever take (family) people pictures if compelled, and I've never graduated beyond convict mug-shot level. 
I like taking true candids, i.e. where the subject is completely unaware of your activity.
But this is mainly for the challenge of it. My efforts are rarely worth sharing. The tilt-screen of the E-M5 is useful as you can use the camera at waist level. But I'd use a more discreet device in preference.
Whilst I really like the idea of the Oly 45/f1.8, I'm not sure I'd use it much. The Oly 60mm macro is such a great all-purpose lens that the need is just not there. It would be different if I did studio stuff, I guess.
I found similar things using the 45, the focus can be too sensitive at times, I tried to focus on the bottom of the garden through a glass window.
The lens kept focusing on the glass and nothing else, turned out the glass was not as clean as I thought it was and the lens was focusing on a small speck of grime 
Its often claimed that M4/3 lenses are more expensive than the equ dslr lenses, think again.
This is x3 the price of the equ M4/3 lens

Should have said what was the equ of that Canon, the Pany 12-35.
Guess this is the equ of the Pany 35-100

Ooooh...!!!
Despite my comment in our earlier PM Paul - I could be interested in that!
And its only about 1/3 of the price of the Canon version, now who said M4/3 was dearer
I`ve got a feeling the price is already dropping, it was shown at £2300, one heck of a lot.
