This lens is really amazed me even if I not like much wide angle photography.
Small ! Looks like an 50mm lens , filter thread only 49 mm!
Look color rendering and sharpness...

Looks very good. I would like to have this lens rather than zenitar 16mm...

I seen many nice pictures with Zenitar too, but I guess better to have a less wide angle lens than a fisheye. Fisheye usage is very limited to me.

Olympus superwides are top notch.
18mm 21mm 24mm all of them are ranked at the top
I only speak for what I read online as I never owned any of them. But most people seem to agree.

I have 21mm f3.5 and 24mm f2 both are just superb. 18mm and 21mm f2 too expensive for me so I guess I am set might be I will buy a Olympus OM film camera too for wide-angle photography.

Good idea. I liked the OM4ti when I had a play many years back.

I had the OM4 for 25 years - magnificent camera, and truly superior lenses.

So OM4 would be the best from them ?

Yes particularly the ti version but it can be pricey... Sleeper wise the OM40 is a good camera and underpriced...

OM40 aimed at amateur market, fairly well built (better than OM10) but not pro build quality.

OM4 pro build quality, interchangeable focus screens, wider shutter range etc.

I never owned either but used both (well the OM4ti) a few years back (a friend was in to Olly kit - he also had a OM1 but I never had a chance to use that). I'd much rather have an OM3 or OM 4 than OM40, but the OM40 is still a nice camera.
