Olympus m zuiko 7 14mm f 2 8 pro vs panasonic leica dg 8 18mm f 2 8 4?

The Olympus M.Zuiko 7-14mm f/2.8 PRO is the one I'd pick if you shoot ultra-wide in low light or want a constant f/2.8 across the whole zoom. On Micro Four Thirds it frames like 14-28mm on full frame, and its f/2.8 gives about the depth of field of f/5.6.

The Panasonic Leica DG 8-18mm f/2.8-4 frames wider at the short end and is a looser everyday ultra-wide. Its aperture drops to f/4 as you zoom, so it's less useful in dim light at 18mm.

Neither lens has stabilisation, so plan on a steady hand or a tripod for slow shutter speeds. If you want to know how aperture affects blur and depth of field, the focal length converter walks through it.
