A nice Oly senior sales/tech. exec. told me something interesting  
about the 18mm which might improve its cult status.
Apparently they deliberately made it slightly soft in the centre to  
make the edges seem sharper.
The idea was to create an illusion of edge-to-edge sharpness in a  
lens that had no right to be that.
I can no longer check that but it might be worth investigating.
