The 14-42mm kit lens actually control coma and chromatic abberations better than the 12-50mm, so I'd suggest to stick with the 14-42. Plus the 12-50mm is rather large, and would be unwieldy on the Pen Mini.

I'd recommend the Oly 45mm f/1.8 next, since you already have the Sigma 19mm, I don't think you need any other moderate wide angle primes (e.g. Panny 20mm f/1.7, Oly 17mm f/1.8).

The 45mm is quite small, and will fit well with the Pen Mini, and is great for portraits or moderate telephoto. I don't have it myself yet, but hopefully very soon

If you need wider, then perhaps the Oly 12mm f/2 or Oly 9-18mm or Panny 7-14mm.
