This follows my five lens comparison at 14mm.

In my review of the Olympus OM-D E-M5 in my Guide to ALLVIEW (part of DAP at present), I’ve added a four lens 12mm Four Thirds / Micro Four Thirds comparison with the following lenses:

• Olympus 12mm f/2 ED.
• Olympus SHG 7-14mm f/4 ED.
• Panasonic G Vario 7-14mm f/4 ASPH.
• Panasonic Lumix G X Vario 12-35mm f/2.8 ASPH.

Although 12mm and 14mm might seem very close, there is significant value in both comparisons; it serves as a cross-check in multiple ways.
