There are Schneider PC lenses (the same as for Leica cameras) which
could be adapt to all mayor camera brands (including Olympus and Nikon).

Quality:

35mm Schneider PC, as good as the 35mm Zuiko PC lens.

28mm Schneider PC, better than the 24mm Zuiko PC lens (no wonder, much
smaler angle of view)

Price:

Same as the Leica versions :-(
