That's correct ... but while the subject line remained the same, the subject changed. And, if you read the other posts you'll know that Olympus made a 21mm Zuiko 2.0 that used a 55mm filter. There are fast and small w-i-d-e lenses, and even pentax made one (second paragraph in my post that you quoted) although it was only a prototype.
