2.8 isn't really sufficient for low light. It helps, but you're still going to be sub 1/50 I think in a restaurant/other low-light type setting. If you have IBIS then that would help some more. But the trade-off for using a faster aperture is the shallow DOF. It's not as bad on m4/3ds, but a pain if you need to get a group shot all in focus.

That said, I'd probably go with the other primes from Pana or Oly.
