There are a couple of threads on dpreview and fredmiranda that tend to favor the olympus 9-18. The 7-14 is clearly better optically but it has a few annoying flaws:
a) price
b ) can't take filters
c) in certain cases nasty purple fringing or flare that is hard to remove in post processing
-
The 9-18 is cheaper smaller and punchy just lower resolution in the corners (and not as wide). Not sure about the distortion factors.
-
These comments are hersey as I do not own either lenses or use either lenses (though if I don't switch to fuji I might pick up the 9-18 one day).
