i am new on this site so i am not familiar with the way it works. i uploaded a few photos and now i can´t see them on the site, i assume they must wait for some sort of approval.
my father gave me his OM-2n with a zuiko auto-s 50mm 1.4, now i am interested in buying a prime wide angle lense. can anyone recomend me a site other than ebay type?

i can't necessarily recommend an online site but I would recommend the Zuiko 28mm f2.8 for wide angle lens.

Welcome. I see your photos on the top of the page for the Olympus OM Cult. As for recommendations for a wide angle, the 28mm f2.8 was probably the most common low cost option. It really depends on your budget and what you are looking to do with it.

That is three votes for this wide-angle lens. I have used one for years. Fantastic lens for the price.

Make it 4 votes. I have had my 28mm since new in early '80's. Great wide angle lens.

Oops! I have a very old 28mm. f3.5 which is excellent. Am I missing something apart from an f stop?

Don't understand your concern about Ebay, I've been using it for a couple of years now - look at the feedback on the sellers, take a lead from what they say, don't bid early, bide your time until just before bidding closes and don't get caught up in the bidding frenzy. Always a good idea to check what prices similar items have sold for, you can search on completed listings. Have to be honest and say that I have purchased a turkey or two but in the main most of the sellers absolutely fine
