 I have the vivitar 19/3.8 - not stellar, but solid, can be found new 
 in the UK in OM mount still for 80-90 pounds. >>

On page 78 in PhotoVision Volume 1 is an impressive skyscape by Kees van den 
Berg, taken with a 19mm lens.

I like my 21/3.5 because of the so-small size, and it is wonderful for skies 
too. I can see the attraction of a 19 mm lens for this picture though. I also 
saw an impressive sunset sky taken with the 18 mm Zuiko on one of the list 
members' sites. (<- Now where do I put the apostrophe in that one?) Just that 
bit more sweeping than the 21 view.

I do have a Tamron 17 but an not so sure about it any more. My pictures 
seemed clear, but 104 degrees view and some pincushion distortion stretched 
the corners out too far for my tastes.
