Re: kit 14-42 or used prime wide such as Panasonic 14mm?

I use the 14-42 R as my video lens, and the Pany 14mm as my match for the Sigma 30mm. I often use the GWC1 as my wide angle of choice. My 14mm seems to be very good at 22mm with the GWC1 (Not quite as good as the Nikkor 12-24 I have, but good enough for most microstock agencies) and is easily fix of any distortion or fringe in either LR or ACR//Photoshop. The Kit zoom is very good for video and is very cheap (when gotten with camera or refurbed).

For me each is a different tools that has its uses.
