I got mine as soon as they came out and I won an auction for $280 when they were going for more. I don't use it all that much but on one of the smaller cameras you can't not have. That plus + 20 + 45 is the smallest complete kit. I have the 14 too but it doesn't get used as much now that I have the 12-32. And the 12-32 is amazingly sharp. If I got the 20 again I might NEVER use the 14.

I have owned this lens for a few months now and I have used it in a few trips, the last being one to Tampa and Orlando. The images were quite sharp and close to the 25mm f1.4 Summilux. I used the 12-32 on the GX1 as well as the GX7. Once I got accustomed to having to open the lens first, it is a pleasure to use.
