Wide angle lens for Olympus mirrorless

[kareon]

Hi there! I am wondering if anyone could recommend me a budget wide angle lens for travelling for my Olympus mirrorless?
Thanks in advance!

it would be helpful to know (a) your budget, and (b) what will you be shooting mostly on your trip.

Thanks @one eye jack for the recommendation.

Hi @nightwolf75, it will be more for scenic & buildings. Going to hutt lagoon pink lake in perth as well as Osaka, kobe & Kyoto in the later part of the year. I've got a soft spot for dreamy sunset and beautiful skylines.

Hoping not to spend too much tho. For second hand set, Is something below $400 possible?

below $400 i think you can get the kit lens for olympus 14-42mm/f3.5-5.6 or the 14-150mm/f4-5.6 as long as you do not see yourself shooting indoors during the trip. otherwise you will need at least $600 to get the 12-40mm/f2.8

Your 2 lenses are in my estimation already over $400 used for 12 - 40mm. So I'll slip in this ultra wide angle lens for your consideration.
Manual lens though.

Have u considered the Oly 9-18mm f5.6? Good for outdoors. I think it is below $400.
