I'd recommend the Oly 21/3.5 and CZ Distagon 28/2.8
I second both these lens
The OM 21 is a nice choice because its a good in-between focal length between an 18 and a 24, letting you go a little bit wider, and maybe not need to carry an extra ultra wide (unless you really love ultra wide shooting). When I've got only a 24 with me, I sometimes wish I could go wider, and when I've only got a 14 (or 18) it feels too wide and can be tough to compose with. I figured a 21 was a good compromise in a single lens, and a focal length I grew to enjoy with my Fuji 14mm (21mm equiv).
Its optically quite good and very small/light. I also liked the Canon 20 FDn, which is also a nice performer but a bit bigger than the OM, and my OM has better corners. The OM can share 49mm filters with the 35 and 55 FE's too.
Attached is a straight out of camera A7 jpeg from the OM 21 at f5.6 or f8 (can't remember which) Pretty decent corners for an ultra wide, with no color cast.
EDIT; this was a full resolution upload, any idea how to load those ? I know I've seen it done as usually you can click on the image and get a little magnifier tool, which then pops up another window with the full rez image
