Johannes: “Nikon and Canon are doing quite a good job giving the newcomers affordable excellent glass with the Nifty Fifties. It is hard to find something comparable@ µ43.  I recently did quite a bit of work and photos to experience the Nifty-Fifty-ness as well as looking for a solution for the µ43 community. I did 6 blog entries on this topic, 6 are related to µ43 and 2 are related to get the APS-C and FullFrame experience with the Nifty Fifty.
The summary is the last blog entry http://delightphoto.zenfolio.com/blog/2015/12/-43-for-photographic-beginners-part-6-the-comparison-of-the-sigma-s
But the other ones are nice as well:
