2)45/f1.8 = 90mm/f3.5 on full frame. Hmm, that is "better than a spit into an eye" (as the phrase has it) but still: Far, far behind my 85mm/f1.4 on D700. [/quote]
If "shallow DoF" is the goal, then of course that is usually made easier with bigger sensors than faster glass.
However I'd argue the "big(ish) sensor mirrorless" is aiming at low end DSLR, which mostly means APS-C. And they're close enough to an even footing there.
My only concern is the price gap. The 45mm f/1.8 is near enough comparable to a 50mm f/1.8 used on APS-C. While I haven't seen street pricing yet, the indications are the 45mm will be a LOT more expensive. I hope I'm wrong there.
