I'd say for anything wider than 50mm you need to look in native lenses (check the f2.8 Sigma's). The 50s and 135s are cheap and many, and there are plenty of reviews online. I'm currently using the Zuiko 50/1.8 "made in Japan" version. I use it mainly wide-open or stopped down to f2.8 for greater DoF for portraits and it provides great results in terms of sharpening, micro-contrast, and overall rendering/color reproduction. The bokeh is a bit harsh to my eyes, but I can live with that.
