Is the olympus m zuiko 75mm f 1 8 worth it?

Yes, if you want a portrait lens for Micro Four Thirds. On this system it frames like a 150mm on full frame, a comfortable working distance for headshots. At f/1.8 it gives about the depth of field of f/3.6, so backgrounds still soften nicely. It autofocuses but isn't stabilised, so keep your shutter speed up when shooting handheld.

It's a telephoto prime, so it won't suit landscapes or street shooting. For a wider, everyday view, the 25mm f/1.8 and 17mm f/1.8 are the other Olympus primes here. For how focal length affects portraits, read portraits, and for building a lens set, see lenses.
