     I no sooner made mention of this lens than one popped up at an affordable 
price of $60 this morning.  It has a Nikon mount, which is readily usable on 
Olympus 4/3 cameras such as the E-500 series.

     Before pursuing this lens, I read a number of online reviews and they were 
invariably positive, and this one has a good number of sample photos:

     I have used a couple of wide-angle zooms that go down to 24mm, but I 
wanted something even wider so I can explore the limits and be able to take 
better wide-angle photos in narrow situations such as canyons and meadows.  I 
have been impressed with the optical quality of the Samyang lenses I have 
(28-200/4.0-5.6 and 100-500/5.6-7.1), and based on those experiences plus the 
reviews and blogs this one looked like a marginally better choice than the 
Vivitar 17-28/4.0-5.6.
