I'm sure the OMZ18mm is a wonderful lens, with a price to match,
unfortunately. 

I'm not into fisheyes and, anyway, we don't have palm trees in
Canada....

Martin,
I can not comment on the Tamaron lenses as I have never used one.
However, I have extensively used the 18mm Zuiko. It is one of my all
time favorite lenses. I find it great for doing interior shots for real
estate. It allows the whole room of average size houses to get into one
picture. It also gives stunning landscapes. 

I use my 16mm and 8mm Zuikos far less. Though the 8mm has done a couple
of cover shots over the years. Love that fisheye distorting looking
along a walkway lined with palm trees. 

With this slow transition to digital bodies the one thing that we loose
is good wide glass. The 7-14mm Digital Zuiko is a great lens. I have
been shooting with it for about 6 months now and really have grown to
love it's coverage, but it is huge. In fact I have been liking the
digital so much that I have been contemplating selling of some of my
Zuikos and replacing them with the Dzuiko equivalents.
