I always thought a wide angle lens would be something an avg consumer
wouldnt use that much but Ive noticed , all the interior shots I
wanted to take and shots of scenery Ive taken , just seem to narrow.
You dont get any sense of the place at all unless you do a panorama
shot and stitch pics together which is a hassle.

I know Olympus do one for the 750. I haven't read any reviews on it, though.

I've just been shopping for a similar item - I compiled a summary of
my findings - including links to the reviews I've found on the web -
in my blog:
