It just so happens that while they changed format (3:2 to 4:3) they did not change body from a SLR into a TLR or medium format box (whatever they call it.) Thus the 7-14mm gave the widest view back then. Some Four Thirds enthusiasts would say there is no 2x crop, but a new format.

The Sigma 12-24, still beats it for full frame wideness. But this one is f/2.8 aswell which kicks ass. I don't count Oly as it's 2x crop factor makes the numbers funky.

The only other contender is the Olympus 7-14mm F4 but it's F4 and Four-Thirds. In the meantime, minor leaks of the Sony Alpha 700 with 16-105mm F3.5-5.6 kit lens come out. Will blog about it after this! Don’t forget – the 14-24mm F2.8 is the widest proprietary zoom lens at F2.8 AND full-frame.
