Wideangels do show distorsion, but one learns to handle it, and frame
pictures so it's not too obvious. The angle of view is not that much more
than a 28mm, but you will find yourself needing that little extra. I just
mean, if you can get a 24mm fairly cheap it might be worth it in the long
run.

Personally I'd say go with only a 50mm for a year or two, and spend your
money (as someone already said) on film in stead. There's no better starting
kit in the world than an OM1 with a 50/1.8. Then make a few bucks and get
that wideangle, learn to use it, make some more bucks and get a short tele.

Again, just my 2c
