The Pana-Leica 25mm f/1.4 is superb. I have a lot of nice glass across several camera systems and this is hands-down one of my faves and my most-often used on this body.
Used to have the Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 which was nice as well, and super compact on a PEN body but the 25mm f/1.4 has better AF, IQ and build.
I also have the Panasonic 100-300mm which is amazing for a $500 super-telephoto zoom. It's not fast or constant aperture but image quality is very good and geez - a 600mm Nikon lens is ~$10K and will break your back. This thing can go everywhere with you.
On my travels the last couple weeks I rented a 7-14 superwide zoom. I'm not a major wide-angle shooter and wanted to check this out and see how bad the 'purple blob' (colored flare) before thinking about buying it. Same impression as above -- similar IQ and way cheaper and smaller than the Nikon 14-24 that I just sold. But I did see the 'purple blob' flare on a couple of front-lit shots.
My next purchase may be the Oly 45mm f/1.8 as I realized I am just not good at manual focusing the adapted lenses I had planned to use to cover this focal length.
