I think I'm going to jump m4/3's ship because of UltraWideAngle

WOW, You guys love the system

I get it that m4/3 is good, very good but that doesn't mean I am going to close my eyes on other options. I contemplate a lot on trying and buying other brands and systems. Most of the time I'd see there is not enough benefit from spending more and getting more. I wanted to buy Sony A7 but I ended up with Oly E-M5II because of glass not the sensor. It is no secret that when the sensor shrinks, so does the effective field of view for a given focal length. It is also true that APS-C and M4/3 are not that different in dimensions but we are talking about the limits of physics and that difference is going to show up. Pana 7-14 has more elements and groups because it is more difficult to project the same view on a smaller sensor eg. NIKKOR FX 14-24mm f/2.8 has 14 elements in 11 groups compared to Panasonic's 16 elements in 12 groups and that is constant aperture.
After all maybe I end up getting Olympus 7-14 for the same weight and price of the mentioned combos.
