Well, loup,
You'll get good A3 prints with the E-P1 & "kit lenses" already and you already limit your choices a lot with primes only.
-the 12mm seems very appreciated.
-the 20mm f/1.7 is stunning and fully fonctionnal on Oly might be a worthy alternative to the 25mm below ?
-the 25mm f/1.4 has a possible issue : just look for reports on the "rattlesnake" aperture when the E-M5 is out. Many users await for reports and Olympus has reported they're in contact with Panasonic to try to fix the issue (currently on the E-P line, it seems).
-the 45mm f/1.8 is 100% recommended by yours truly
-I don't know much about the 45mm macro lens but it seemed too pricey for me and the 45mm f/1.8 was a good cheap "waiting lens" for the "50mm F/2 m.zuiko macro" I was hoping for (and that will probably never come now that Olympus announced the 60mm f/2.8 macro).
-the only gap so far (until the 75mm f1.8 arrives) would be at the 75-100mm FL.
