The Tamron Sp 17mm is pretty plentiful and a good performer. I see them on
Ebay for $2-250, but one sold for a BIN of $150 last week. You may have to
add the price of an OM Adaptall adapter (net it's price against the adapter
you can sell from the lens you buy).
The Zuiko 21/3.5 is VERY nice, and tiny. $3-350.
Others that are around, but hard to find in OM mount:
- Sigma 18/3.5
- Tokina 17/3.5
Others?

Subject: [OM] Best aftermarket superwide?
Zuiks,
Any thoughts on the best non-Zuiko prime ultrawide (>24mm)?
Please don't bother singing the praises of the Zuiko 21s or 18 - of course
I bloody
want one! I just can't afford it right now.
Also - you've all finally worn me down. I'm gonna try this one last time.
FS - Zuiko 65-200mm f4 zoom in IMMACULATE condition, w/Oly front and rera
caps. This lens is MINT. ( I don't use it enough to warrant keeping it.
Call me a fake
Zuikoholic - and yes, I'll probably bemoan its loss the second I post it
off - but I'm
happy with my 3-prime lens + accessories kit. )
You've all worn me down to asking $160 US - a bargain in anyone's language!
I
know it's not the most sought after Zuik and that a lot of you already have
one, but
this lens is so under-rated and in, sincerely, showroom condition.
I'm seriously only trying to divest myself of it because I don't need the
"convenience" of zooms for what I shoot. Reply off list if interested in
finding out my
terms.
BTW - This whole "light travel outfit" thing - it's how I operate full
stop; at present it's
28f2, 50 1.4, 85 f2 + Elicar macro/tele converter (this item rocks ...). I
am
SERIOUSLY interested in this Voigtlander/Cosina 40mm f2 thing, though -
looks
fab. If the performance is anywhere near the Zuik at a nicer price, I'd be
keen. I
never could decide between 35 and 50 as my "standard" - the 40 is the
PERFECT
focal length for an indecisive Gemini like myself.
Eagerly awaiting replies ...
Reuben Acciano
