I find I usually choose the 21/2 over the 18/3.5. At almost two stops faster, 
it is a lot more convenient in most lighting situations. I then attach an 
Olympus 0.8x to the front, to give me the equivalent angle of view of a 16.8mm 
f2 lens!

The Oly 0.8x does not vignette with the 21/2, but the quality is not quite as 
good as the "naked" 18/3.5, but you can get the pair for cheaper than the 
18/3.5, and it's almost two stops faster...
