Go for the 8mm 1,8 fisheye, t's objectively the superior lens, much better than the 7-14:

- it's wider

- even defished it's still wider than the 7-14

- the multiple inbody defishing options can be used as a zoom function

- it opens wider at 1,8 compared to 2,8

- it opens you the realm of night time astrophotography, and nigh landscape and city scape

- it's smaller, lighter and more portable

- it's a prime, more durable than a zoom and less moving parts, and better weather sealing

the defishing only works for JPG's right? I'm also considering the same thing as the OP, and I'm considering a few options. Not being able to work with RAWs with defishing would be a no-go for me

My understanding is it does create a defished raw file but that raw file must be opened in Olympus Workspace software.
