Oly 12mm vs. Panny 14mm, worth the $$ difference?

Dec 3, 2011

The Olympus 12 is very well regarded, more so than the Panasonic. I know it's faster and wider, and bigger. But is it really worth 4X the price we're seeing for the 14 on ebay?

I've got an Oly 9-18 zoom already and some other lenses that I use on my G1. I've been using my 20mm on the GF3 and I think I'd like to have 3 primes for it, a 12-14 wide. and the 45mm. For us oldsters that would kind of be like having a Leica M3 outfit in the sixties.
