Dan, a faster lens always gives you the option to use it--can't use speed 
if it isn't there. I don't shoot much indoors but I could easily see a use 
for the Zuiko 50/1.2 if I did. For sure that lens has come in handy for me 
outside at night where the depth of field isn't nearly so critical--as a 
rule, at least for my needs.
