Wide angled lens for mountains?

I got this camera - it was about the price of the PanaLeica 1,7/15mm in July. (540 EUR)

Results are even better than expected, better color roll off, better micro contrast and sharper than the GX7 plus 1,7/20mm. It is an ideal landscape camera and weighs a little more than a third of the gx7+20mm combo (240g).

Here a few negatives:

I missed the EVF, but not as much as anticipated, the LCD was nicely visible except when there was direct sun on it. Also the LCD is unreliable and often shows too low or to high exposures. Don't correct exposure too much.

Because of the retractable lens the camera is vulnerable to dust and rain.

Also, if you want to get the best sunset colors, change WB to daylight, auto WB will correct away the red colors.

But in spite of all this, whenever I look at holiday pictures, the wow landscapes are usually taken with the GR.

I recently bought a Nikon coolpixA, a near twin to the GR.  After a month of shooting photos side-by-side with M4/3 in Yosemite, and throughout the Sierras ... I was not impressed.  For that matter, in good light, my GX7 w/ 14-140ii (using E-shutter) got most of my favorite shots, better even than a new D7100 I was testing w/ the FF 24-85G.

BTW, i didn't see any superiority of the 20 pancake either.

(All these hundreds of photos viewed on my 5k iMac)

For that matter, unless i'm printing BIG, really big, I don't see much advantage from my D750 with Sigma 35 f1.4 art.  (of course, they also excel in low light)  But even for those night shots, w/ a tripod, I can get good results from the cheaper/smaller gear.
