My two Panasonic lenses are terrific; the 12-32mm is stunningly good, small and light, and between it and my Olympus 12-60mm SWD there isn't a big difference (well, yes, in size!). I am kind of disappointed on the SWD, as I expected better performance out of a lens so large and heavy, and I know I have a good copy. It flares quite a bit, and I won't attach a lens hood to it for fear of having the front element pop off at some point. My copy of the Panasonic 25mm f/1.7 is simply outstanding - resolution, color and contrast are sublime, it works excellently in low light, and focuses very fast and accurately. For $99, it's a lens that is light years ahead of the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8.

On the other hand, my Olympus 14-140mm mk. I is poor.

Your lens collection is odd,

and your fear of putting a hood on the 12-60 is ... misguided (I'm being kind)

You are missing all of the "best" m4/3rds lenses : you don't own any of them!!

Sell everything, buy something else entirely.
