Chris,
I have a Sigma 21-35/3.5-4.? which partially fits your prescription. I'm
not sure why you're stuck on 2.8 speed in such a wide angle lens, but it's
not quite there in this lens.
Center sharpness with the Sigma compares well to Zuiko primes 24 and 28,
but corners are softer. Very good MC coating and contrast.
This lens is no longer made, but they turn up now and then.
