This is a great combo. Even better on a smaller body like the E-M10 or E-M5/5II. I used this setup to shoot the Northern Lights in Iceland. For everything else I would switch to the more versatile 12-40 lens.
Too limiting IMO. the 12mm is perfect for nightscapes, night skies, and other low-light work. Although it's quite a bit bigger, the E-M1 + 7-14 PRO is great for travel and landscapes. It's still small and light compared to a Nikon 800/810 + 14-24/2.8 lens.

I have been tempted to pick up an EM10 with just that in mind (12mm). Would be great for travel.

I've yet to pick up the 7-14 and 12-40 pro lenses (controlling the budget tightly this year!) but did use the 12-35 2.8 for most of the walk about stuff. Not sure why I had the 12mm on at this point!
The 12-35 is a great option, and it's smaller and lighter than the 12-40. Just keep it out of the rain!
