Although somewhat limited, the older or first version had some built-in 
filters just as the 16mm Zuiko does.  So the partial solution is to buy the 
first 
edition.  I face the same problem with the 24-48mm Tamron zoom.  I'm not sure 
it would work, however if I could find another of the dedicated lens caps for 
this lens, I thought a way could be discovered to marry a Cokin adapter to the 
lens cap which had the front cut of it and then I could alter the filter 
holder so it would be narrow enough to not vignette.  So there is an idea which 
you 
may be able to adapt to your 17mm.  I don't know if it will work, however the 
discussion of a possible solution to an OM problem is certainly refreshing.
