I have both a 8mm and 16mm. I'm not an expert on VR, but I would think that
the 8mm would be a bad choice, since it makes a circle on the film. The
16mm might be better, but even then I question it, because the edges of the
photo will be distorted. I think your best choice would be a straight
ultra-wide, which in Zuiko-land would be the 18 3.5. And don't forget the
8mm is around $1,000 used, if you can find one.
You might want to check the Oly gallery and also my personal gallery below.
i have samples of both the 8 and 16.
