Thanks, but still a very long focal length for an E-M5.

My Canon mount Tamron 20-40 is still amongst the missing.  When shooting
the sale photos for my house I really missed it since my E-M5 doesn't go
wider than 12(24)mm.  But I'm very reluctant to spend $699 for the
mZuiko 9-18mm lens.  I rarely use such a wide angle. If I'm shooting
landscape and need a wider angle I shoot panos at 12mm.  That's easy
with distant subjects but tough for shooting inside a room.  An
inexpensive solution is a pano head such as the Panosaurus
<http://gregwired.com/pano/Pano.htm>.  However the Panosuarus
description makes clear <http://gregwired.com/pano/Pano.htm> that it
does not support off-center tripod mounts on the camera.

So what solutions are available to solve the off-center mount of my E-M5
or (possible) E-M1?
