I am embarrassed to say so, but I have this lens, and hardly use it. Video for parties occasionally, but that is about it. I have no issues with the lens IQ wise.

I use the 20 mostly, but if I have to go wide, I used the 9-18. I had visions of the this classic kit, 14, 20 and 45, all small lenses on the GX1, and it never really worked out. Now I mostly use my GX7 and 20. If I need wide, I use the 12-32 because it is about the same size as the 20, and is easy to carry around. Given the choice of carrying one lump in your pocket or small bag, the 12-32 wins out over the 14. It was a bad purchase on my part, but at least it was cheap (relatively)! I got one of those new lenses that was split from a kit on eBay.
