What's your favorite native prime lens on micro 4/3 camera body?

Just as the thread title what is your favorite prime lens on a micro four-thirds camera?
On my Olympus OMD EM 10ii it's the miniscule 14mm f2.5 Panasonic Lumix.
I could leave this lens permanently attached to this camera and never look back.

That’s tough. I really like the Panasonic 20mm f1.7, the Panasonic 42.5 f1.7 and the Olympus 60mm f2.8 macro. I’d probably go with the 20mm if pressed for a favorite. My next favorite honestly might be the 9mm fisheye body cap lens. It’s a hokey not super sharp lens that somehow brings me a smile almost every time I use it.

I’ve always wanted to try the 14 f2.5 - once upon a time I owned the 17mm f2.8 Olympus lens. It gets a bad rap… I only sold it when I got the Panasonic 20mm. The slightly wider angle was nice but it was a touch softer at times.

Exactly the same here ! I didn't find any love for the Oly 17mm either , but the Panasonic 20mm is definitely a keeper !
