Indeed I have heard that a fair number of pro Canon and Nikon users purchased the Olly with just the 7-14mm zoom, because these two manufacturers weren't offering anything comparable
Not a "native" lens but for APS-C cameras the Sigma 10-20 comes close, and there's a 12-24 with full frame coverage if you need it.
Exactly the same discussion is sizling on a transatlantic 4/3 forum at the moment and I thought that I would repost one of the posts from there, hope that's allowed:
"Hmmm I just wanted to add my 2 cents about wide angle... I cameto Olympus from Pentax. Well, Samsung GX-10 actually, but it's the same pentax camera. When I was a Pentaxian, I was at furst attracted by Sigma 10-20. Yeah, very wide for just 500$! So I went and tried it.
First one I tried made me think it's a bad instance of that lens. I asked to give me another one, then the third. After shooting with 3 (!) Sigmas 10-20 I stopped looking at that lens at all. It's sharpness on the sides of the picture is terrible. Not even bad, but terrible! It's nearly unusable on it's wide end (well at least for me).
I really-really think that 9-18 will be MUCH better quality lens then Sigma 10-20."
