Thanks David, I'll look into it. At the moment, I haven't found so many samples on MFT cameras. If you have references, feel free !
f/1.7 would be fine. It appears to be quite a tad larger than the Nokton 1.4 though...but still smaller than the Nokton 1.2 yes.
Looks like it's a 300-350€ price tag depending on the condition. Sounds right?

Hi Sylvain, there are some samples on Sean Reid's Reidreviews pay site; don't know of any others. I only ever played with one for a weekend when a friend visiting from the Netherlands lent me his M8 and a few lenses for a weekend...I was pretty impressed. I couldn't pick it from summicrons.
The Reid review compares it against the 1.4 and 1.2, and finds the 1.4 the weakest of the bunch.
Another possibility (slower still and longer so maybe outside your parameters) might be the Ultron 40mm f2; I have one of those and it's amazing in almost every way except slightly nervous bokeh if there is detail in the background (though it's fine if the background is 'broad brush'. Also being designed for an SLR there'll be no problem with angle the light hits the sensor.
One negative recommendation is the Oly Zuiko 35mm f2; I had one of those during the day of film, and it was the least impressive of the Zuiko lenses i had. Really hazy wide open, and never sharpened up tremendously (of course it might have been a sample issue, but I have heard others say the same)
