Best wide angle lens for the olympus pen e pm2?

The PEN E-PM2 is a Micro Four Thirds body, so every lens here frames 2× wider than its number suggests on full frame. For the widest view, I'd start with the Olympus M.Zuiko 7-14mm f/2.8 PRO, which covers 14-28mm full-frame equivalent in one zoom.

If you'd rather carry something smaller, the Olympus M.Zuiko 12mm f/2 gives a 24mm equivalent view in a compact prime. For a middle ground, the Panasonic Leica DG 8-18mm f/2.8-4 covers 16-36mm equivalent.

New to aperture numbers? The Lenses guide explains why a smaller f-number matters in dim light.
