I can't find a comparison, and LensTip has not tested the 14-45. Apart from different FL and speed, how do the two lenses compare for sharpness and other factors?

I saw a comparison back when the 12-35 came out.

Regarding sharpness, the 14-45 is almost as good as the 12-35. Other optical factors are comparable also - i.e. not a huge difference. Basically, what you are paying for is the f2.8, the 12mm and weather-proofing.

The 14-45 has lower price, 10mm extra reach and is lighter.

Some say that the 14-42II is slightly better than the 14-45.
