Dear Thomas........
I highly recommend the Zuiko 28/f2 for a standard wide......
24/2 for a superwide....... (or 24/2.8 if $ is a constraint))
and the infamous (famous) 21/f2 for the ultra wide......
It depends on which category of wideangles U want to start from........I
have had very pleasing results (so far) from my 28/2 and 85/2. I believe U
will too......
Peace
TMLee
