I think all the OM wide angles in the range 35-24 are very good. i don't 
have anything wider at the moment. 28mm f/2.8 is a lovely all rounder for 
landscapes, interiors etc but the 35mm is a personal favourite. Its razor 
sharp and excellent for shooting flowers. All focus down to about 8 
inches. I also have a 24mm f/2.8 which I love for landscape work, but the 
slightest tilt on this while shooting buildings will result in a big 
distortion to the verticals.

BTW I have a 35mm f/2.8 and a 28mm f/2.8 for sale if you are interested 
once you read all the posts on this subject.

Regards

John.
