Re: WOW, You guys love the system

I take more images with the Panny 7-14 than any other lens I have. I use it on an Em-5 and it works very well. The purple blobs are not really a major problem in reality. However there are times that I am not carrying the camera because I am on a bike or whatever. So I would like a smaller combo but I don't think the alternatives in this thread are a real game changing solution. The Nikon DL18-50 could be the real answer for less than the cost of a wide angle lens. A two stops faster lens should more than make up for the sensor size difference. Just need Nikon to get going with production...

Wow! That is heavy use at the UWA end.  I love my 7-14 for architecture, some city scenes and landscape, especially when out on the Bay amoung the shoals and islands.  Some snowscapes.  Not usually bothered by purple blobs.   I didn't bother inserting the filter that Anders talked about a few years ago.

The rest of the time I shoot a LOT of long stuff, ranging from wildlife to faux macro, especially nowadays with the current invasion of migrants .

The OP's three photos that I referred to were taken with a 18mm lens.  I believe he wants to get wider.

As you know the delta in AoV and perspective is significant down at those short focal lengths.
