Have you tried Panasonic 14-28mm f/4-5.6? I am quite happy with the results and the lens is very light.

No I haven't. I already have a bunch of wide options so skipped. I should try it. It's a good range and I don't care if it's slow. The thing is I have the 20-60 and 14-24, which are both ideal solutions for me. I would like a *really* good version of a 20-60/70 though like my Sony one. the Panasonic is good but no superb.

Sigma Art lenses are weatherproof, Contemporary and Sports lenses are weather resistant. 

I though the Sports were weather sealed as well. It's only the Contemporary that's weather resistant. That's the difference between Spor and Contemporary. Otherwise they're not very *sporty* are they?

You may well be right, I remember something like that as well. Given that no lens is waterproof , it is a rather grey area. Better to err on the safe side.

but I love the clutch and it's very light too really, only 500g and fully sealed

it replaced my 14-28 but mainly because I needed the 35 more than 14 in a walkabout wide zoom

Do you think the Lumix 14-28 lens is on the same level as the Lumix Pro 16-35 in terms of sharpness (especially in the corners), CA and lens distortion?

I didn’t have the 14-28 long enough tbh

I don’t recall being disappointed though, other than wanting 28-35 range
