I also had the Lumix 14mm f2.5 for several years and shot it on an E-PL2, E-PM2 and E-M1, and while there is some purple fringing in areas of high contrast I would never describe it as massive.

Olympus hasn't really done pancakes since they released the 17mm f2.8 back in the day, you can find those for a song on ebay now, but frankly it's no where near the performance of the Lumix 14mm f2.5
Maybe I got a bad sample, but my experience is that, although it's very sharp in the center, it has a very large area of corner softness no matter what f-stop you use, and the purple fringing in outdoor photos is indeed too massive to be corrected in Adobe Camera Raw. A Tiffen Haze 2A filter (52mm with a 46-52mm step-up ring) fixes the PF problem, but at the expense of making the lens quite a bit bigger and introducing problems associated with using uncoated filters.
Yeah idk maybe bad example slrgear says it is fairly high in CA. Like I said I've never found it to distract from the image, I also used a CPL on it fairly frequently so maybe that explains my satisfaction level.
Anyhow what about the Lumix 12-32mm OIS? it's nearly the same size as the pancakes and according to SLR gear has better controlled CA. It's also around $135 grey market. I've been very happy with mine on the E-PM2.
