The Oly 7-14 is also prone to flare.

In the image below flare is running from top right diagonally towards the center.

The Pana 7-14 is known to flare very badly on Oly cameras but not nearly as bad when a UV 2A filter (gel filter at the back) is fitted. I don't think it would flare much worse on a Pana camera than the Oly 7-14 does on an Oly camera.

I really like the Oly 7-14, but you have to learn to use it: shade a corner with you hand if needed to avoid flare and consider the curvature of the focal plane when choosing where to focus.

Enjoying the Olympus OM-D E-M5.
