Panasonic 14mm/2.5 and 20mm/1.7

Having gotten two nice used copies of these lenses, I must say I'm pleased.  Lots of the reviews rag on the 14 but I don't find the 20mm to be a lot better.  It took careful placement and tripod shot matching to show large differences. Otherwise small mistakes in hand holding or shot adjustment were the biggest problem.  This will make a great two lens combo for tooling around a city.  I can carry the EPL5 with one of them loaded up and the other one sitting in the small camera bag with an extra battery.   And the 20mm with its extra speed and greater sharpness is perfect for museums and statues.  In some ways, given my preference to shoot digital somewhat loose and then crop (because of different paper sizes) the 14mm and 20mm (or 28mm and 40mm equivalents) will work like the 35mm and 50mm worked for me a few decades ago.

Though I'm still trying to figure out why the same shot in the same room seemed to required different exposures at the same apertures of f4.0 or so.  Perhaps the different FOV were averaging different light and thus required different speeds or ISO.

The Oly 40-150 zoom will wait for days when I'm explicitly out shooting something as I don't like to carry zooms around most days.  But the small pancake lenses fit my style well.  And the RX100m2 works for times when I can't be carrying anything that won't fit in my pocket or my messenger bag (given the other stuff that's there).  Looking forward to my summer trips now.

They're both great lenses given their sizes, and remember, unless you're doing landscapes, it's the center of the frame that matters!

I too tend to agree that the 14 is more maligned than it deserves - especially if you

get one used at < $200.

On the 14 you can get a Fuji wide angle converter and turn that 14 into 11

I think you need a 46-43 step DOWN ring also

Enjoy
