I have an Olympus E-PL5 as my "little" camera, and if you're looking to expand your lens selection, I can recommend the little Panasonic 20mm f/1.7. I love the 40mm-equivalent field of view (reminds me of my Canonet rangefinder), and I find the lens to be very sharp and to "draw" beautifully, with smooth transition between sharp focus and blurred background. It might be my favorite lens that I own.
(The one caveat is that in very low light/high ISO situations, some electronic interference causes banding noise when this lens is used with Olympus 16MP sensor cameras. I've seen it now and then, but on the whole I still love the lens.)
