Best wide angle lens for the om system om 5?

For the OM-5, my pick is the Olympus M.Zuiko 7-14mm f/2.8 PRO. It frames like 14-28mm on full frame, and its constant f/2.8 keeps exposure steady across the zoom. It's the one I'd grab for landscapes and interiors.

If you want something smaller for hiking, the Panasonic Leica DG 8-18mm f/2.8-4 covers 16-36mm equivalent and is far more travel-friendly.

For a single fixed focal length, the Olympus M.Zuiko 12mm f/2 gives you a 24mm equivalent view in a tiny package. If you want more light for dim scenes, the Panasonic Leica DG 12mm f/1.4 is the fast option.

If you're not sure what a wide aperture actually buys you, the Lenses guide explains it.
