The 12-32 vs 14

Hello Kris

The GX7 and 12-32 is my walk around combination too. Great outfit!

Some excellent pix. A city designed for cars and "the look" -- not people. looked like that the day it was built and stilllooks like that.

They are all taken with the Panasonic GX7 and the Panasonic 12-32mm. You will see that the lens is far from great when it comes to architecture photography due to its heavy distortion on the wide end.

That is very easily fixed in PP. I PP in Photoline using a P'shop compatible plug-in called PTLens (it also comes in stand alone). PTLens has an algorithm that automatically removes the barrel distortion for the 12-32 (and distortion of various types in many other lenses too). Costs little.

But it compactness makes it great for traveling, thinking of maybe buying the Panasonic 14mm which seems to be quite compact as well. Anyone that have any experience with that lens?

I used the 14mm as my standard lens for a long time -- an excellent lens. Then the 12-32 came along and I found I simply did not bother with the 14 any longer. Sold it on eBay.

But I have nothing but praise for it.
