Sylon, if you want to go a little wider, inexpensively…

…consider the Panny w/a attachment made specifically for the 14mm and the current Panny 14-42. A pro user was talking about the high quality in another thread just a couple of days ago.

It will give you a f2.5 11mm lens! And cost you about $130 on eBay at present! (I'm just looking at one myself.) Say what? And all those people pay hundreds and hundreds for the Oly f2 12???

I haven't used this but I did use the Oly equivalent on the Oly 14-42 II R for a time. This picture gives you an idea of the angle of view you get with the black rectangle the 14mm angle of view:

You might well get a bit of barrel distortion but it will enhance pix like this (taken with the Oly equivalent -- the fence really was leaning and bending), it won’t matter most of the time, and when needed, you will be able to correct it quickly and easily in any competent image processor -- I use the $100 Photoline for all my work.

Cheers, geoff
