sqrt(35/21)*21= 27.11088


So a 27.1mm lens would be exact in the middle between your lenses.



May I ask do you really wan`t to carry that amount of lenses with you?
The step 21mm -> 35mm is a factor of 1.67. Olympus recomended 
a factor of 1.6 for a good line up of primes.
On my last trip I was happy with 21 -> 40mm. While I was dissapointed
when I once traveled with 24 ->35mm, because for my need they were
 too close to each other.
But everything is personal preference (my normal is 85mm).
