Suggestions for portrait lens on m4/3 camera?

[lespaul]

Ok, so I know the classic answer to this question is 85-105mm (more or less) - but what about for m4/3 camera?

With a crop factor of 2x - my 50mm/1.8 Nikon lens is 100mm; and 85mm is a whopping 170mm! DSLR typically have a much smaller crop factor 1.6-1.8x.

Any feedback on this would be great. Im using a Lumix GX1.

Thanks

The 45mm f/1.8 is the vanilla portrait lens.
