I'm reminded of the difference between the E-system lenses. The 7-14
had a ton of optical correction and gave pretty much true coverage of
the 7mm focal length. The 9-18 needed a lot of correction on the wide
end and while 9mm was "true", it didn't give you that much coverage
after correction. The 11-22 almost had as much usable coverage at 11mm
as the 9-18 did at 9mm.
But don't pay much attention to me. My widest lens is an OM Zuiko 24/2.8.
These days, when I need wider, I'm doing multi-image panos.
