The Oly 14-42mm EZ lens on my M-10 II just developed the dreaded "check the position of the lens" error and will not display any image or permit shutter engagement. It zooms out and back at power on and then dies. I know this is a common issue and doubt I'll buy another copy, but what would you suggest as a replacement?

1. Pana/Lecia 12-32mm?

2. Panasonic 14mm f/2.5?

I'm leaning toward No. 2 as it's a small, relatively fast lens for walk-around-travel use.

Others?

I like the 12-32mm. At 12mm, it's at f/3.5, so not that much slower than 14mm at f/2.5. I'd get the 20mm f/1.7 pancake over the 14mm.
