Jim,
Doesn't some of the ND/diffuser filters for the T32 increase the
coverage to the angle of view of a 21mm? I seem to recall something
like that: without any diffuser, the T32 covers 24mm, with one it can
go up to 21mm. Or do I have it backwards? Any experience with the
T32+diffuser+21mm? (Not counting my 21-35, my widest lens is a Zuiko
24mm....)
