Lol, I've actually decided not to buy another 7-14 for now! Looking at another 12mm... Might get a 25mm though!

Chris, what did you think of the 7-14mm, I know you didn't have that long before you sold it. Also I got the impression that you were not that impressed with the 12mm.

Interested as I'm weighing up my wide angle options as well.

Didn't use the 7-14mm a huge deal but it seems an amazing lens, much much smaller than I expected and I full expect to buy another sometime!!

As for the 12mm well I've actually ordered another along with the 25 and 45 to give me a full prime setup... also set to pickup a 20 for compactness really and I've ordered a 7.5mm fisheye to play with as my ultra wide, can't wait!!!

Definitely a great selection covering all the major lengths

I actually have decided that I prefer an EVF now, its great to be able to see what the shot your going to get is!

Also the build of the OMD seemed to me to be better overall!

Down to just the 100-300mm lens just now so need to rebuild my lens kit but as I've tried just about everything now (aside from the 12-35 and 75mm) I think I now know what to go for!

Good decision Chris.

BTW, the silver is IMVHO a no-no, the black is sheer class.

Well I received the 7.5 Fisheye and 20mm today but think the 20mm will need to go back , experiencing some issues with it locking up and I've come across the banding issue too, shame as its size is just great for making the whole outfit compact.

Not sure about the 7.5mm yet, actually found it quite difficult to get any sort of shot with so might return it too and just save up for another 7-14.

This is getting boring Chris, why not settle on some kit and let us see the results?

Oh I'd be keeping the 20mm if it worked!! Its not that I don't like it, always loved the lens but does seem to have some issues (as has been reported)

That and aside from my 100-300 I'm waiting for the bulk of my new kit (12, 45) to arrive next week or I'd be using that, only ordered the 7.5 to give it a try and see if I like the fisheye or not.
