"For most purposes ..." Don't be ridiculous. A fish-eye lens is a specialty lens, and the ONLY wide-angle lens focal length not listed in native Micro-FourThirds mount. Perhaps that's because there's a superb fish-eye lens in FourThirds SLR mount, which work on mFT bodies with any of the four available, dedicated Panasonic and Olympus FourThirds to Micro-FourThirds mount adapters for 100% full function operation.
