I agree with that.

I disagree... the "Lens of the Year" should have been the Holga 25mm f/8 (m4/3rds mount)

Note the classic design, the high quality optics, the all plastic construction...

I'm sorry... I just couldn't help myself.

I do plan on picking up the 45mm f/1.8 soon.

Hey, that Holga lens is just like a Canon EF-s lens! Just a lot cheaper.

I will agree with the Olympus 45mm f/1.8 as getting the gong. Not only is it optically excellent, it is great value for money and focusses fast, even when I put in on my old E-P1. I quite often head out with the Olympus 12mm on my E-P3 and the 45mm on my E-P1. While I would probably use the 12mm 3 or 4 times as much as the 45mm, I agree it is the right one to get the win. Now if only it had the supurb mf arrangement as the 12mm lens. It really would be perfect.
