Mike,
I have the Panasonic 7-14 mft. I have no problems with it except the price.
I considered the Panasonic and the Oly equivalent, and the only advantages
of the oly are price and ability to take a filter, but the chances of my
using a filter on a lens of that wide an angle are very slim. I referred to
the Thom Hogan website and he seems to favor the Panasonic, and I don't
think he's an internet troll.

The dedicated wide converter is said to be very good and still under
your total budget. Turns it into a 10~11mm I think.
I'm looking for a small zoom to replace the big 9~18 + adapter on my EM5
and I looked at that combo. However I would sacrifice some quality with
the micro 9~18. The micro 7~14's defeat the smaller size requirement and
reputedly aren't in the same league as their big cousin.
I had hoped to sell the 9~18 to help finance a micro wide so going the
route of prime + adapter defeats that option. Of course I could then
sell the 20mm as a duplicate but couldn't realized much from that sale.
I'll be interested in hearing how the little lens works out.
Mike
