With your budget and use case I would suggest a prime lens with a bright aperture such as the Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 or the (cheaper) Panasonic 25mm f/1.7.

If you would like to have an option with zoom ability, then I'm afraid you need to save some more money.

Simply go for one of the prime lenses and you'll never go wrong.

Given your price range, the 20 or 25 f/1.7 sound like your best bet.  If you can find the 15mm f/1.7 in that range, I'd recommend it instead as it is a little nicer lens.  The Olympus 17mm f/1.8 isn't bad either, but I think it is a little behind the Panasonic 15mm and 20mm.
