I know this is an expensive item, but I think I want one. I might settle for a 
Sigma, if one exists. Any ideas where to look for this?

Do any of the secondary lenses (e.g. Spiratone, Kenko) come close to a Zuiko's 
optical performance? I tried a cheap adapter, and it had severe chromatic 
aberration and undesirable distortion.

I want to use this for night-time all-sky photography.

I know you can make a cheap all-sky camera with a convex mirror and a tripod, 
but the image quality isn't liable to be super, and the tripod and camera get 
into the image.
