Portraits with new lens - Olympus 75mm F1.8

I am planning on shooting a wedding on 13 October using only my EM-5 plus assorted lens. (I will take a borrowed 50D/24-105 combo as a backup).
I have added the hard-to-find and brand new Olympus 75mm F1.8 to the stable of Olympus lens. To summarise, though not cheap, it is quite outstanding. Build (made in Japan), colour retention, speed of focussing are all world class.

I took a few available light shots of a 3 year son of some friends of ours. He posed quite nicely, I thought!

A great camera Oz and I am sure that Sony will keep the brand alive.

Nice pics too

Sony only own about 11% at this point in time, but I do hope that Sony can learn a few tricks from Olympus regarding layout and image quality (truth said, the E-M5 equals the IQ - in low light - of the NEX7 despite having a smaller sensor and similar pixel pitch)
