At that price it is certainly worth considering.

The price difference here (the Netherlands) is larger even comparing new to new.

The 7-14 f/2.8 is not immune to flare as the image below shows.

9mm, flare coming from top right (where the sun was).

But... not having the Panasonic 7-14 but having the 20mm f/1.7 I can easily predict that with an image like the one below I would get purple fringing on the edges with a Panasonic lens whereas there is none with the Olympus.

7mm, no PF

Here's another one. No PF where edges meet sky. No software filter to eliminate PF used in these images either!

9mm, no PF

Enjoying the Olympus OM-D E-M5.
