Tamron USA still have the SP 17mm f3.5 (and the 24mm f2.5) listed, although
neither have been manufactured in the last two years. Both use the
Adaptall-2 mount system, where new and used Olympus adapters are available.

The SP is listed at $654, but street price I believe is around $350.

I do not believe that my local Tamron importer in Denmark has any MF
lenses, unfortunately......

What third party wide-angle zoom lenses made in the last few years work
on the OM-(1-4)?

I'm especially thinking about the Sigma 20-40mm f2.8 EX Aspherical DG DF
http://www.sigmaphoto.com/html/pages/20_40_ex.htm

I know I have seen adapters for different lenses, but how much does
something like that weigh, and where can I buy it in Europe?

What camera-makers still produce manual focus lenses?

Regards,
Arild
