To the OP: You've already bought the lens and you are only now seeking justification of your purchase???? I've owned one and used it for three years on an Oly EPL-1. Just go out and take pictures.

Good advice! To give you some additional encouragement in the face of the barrage of negative comments in recent posts:

I don't know how small the 12-32 zoom is, but I will say that the 14 is about the size of two silver dollars taped together (a bit of hyperbole) and it goes right into your pocket (try it); my sample is pretty decent in the corners (there may be sample variation I read in an earlier thread); I think the focusing is quick; maybe there is some focus error but not if you set up the camera at centre point. I agree that it flairs and that can lead to some disappointing results.
