Anybody recommend a 4/3 lens, either zoom or prime, that would fall into the Fisheye / Super Wide Angle spectrum. Bear in mind that I have a 14-55mm 2,8 kit lens which is equivalent to a 28-110 in terms of standard 35mm focal length. I would like it to be at least to the standard of my existing lens in terms of contrast and hopefully speed.
 
Do you have any sort of price range in mind? For about $1,500 you can get the Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 7-14mm F4.0 with a 114° angle of view. This is part of Olympus's top-tier set. For around $800 you can get the Olympus Zuiko Digital 11-22mm F2.8-3.5 with an 89° angle of view. This is part of Olympus's second-tier set. Finally, for about $600 you can get the Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 8mm F3.5 Fisheye with a 180° angle of view. This is also part of Olympus's second-tier set.

Those are all I'm familiar with (I shoot Olympus), but you can check out basically all the lenses at four-thirds.org
