The Olympus 15mm F8.0 Body Cap Lens is a unique wide-angle lens that also serves as a body cap and a unique body cap that also serves as a wide-angle lens.

PEN cameras famously combine portable dimensions with ease-of-use for go anywhere SLR-quality imaging, and the Body Cap stays true to that philosophy. The Olympus 15mm F8.0 body cap lens adds a mere 9mm to the depth of your camera so you can still slip it into a jacket pocket with the confidence that sensitive components will be safe from dust, scratches and smears.

    Should work with any Micro Four Thirds Format cameras.
    It doesn't communicate at all with the body of the camera, its purely a 'manual' lens. No Auto focus, No communication to what focal length, etc.

    Don't see it much use, with the slow lens at F8. However im sure somebody will find a use for this type of lens.
    Image quality reviews on the web doesn't really praise it much.

    I own one of these (bought from BHPhotoVideo for USD49) it is something fun but also something that I dont use often. Image quality is better than expected.

    For anyone interested…here is a review from photozone.de

    In short, keep things in the centre and bask in the swirly/blurry edges

    f8 is shit isn't it?

    I've got the Panasonic 14mm f2.5 on my epm1. It was about $150 off eBay, but its a proper MFT auto focus lens, and its tiny.

      F/8 is very dim…..I have the Olympus 17mm f/1.8 on the front of my EP3 most of the time. The bodycap 15mm is really just that….a handy bodycap to have, it can be fun though.

    It is essentially a pinhole camera.
    I made one for my camera. used a drill with a diameter that I know and drilled a tiny hole in a body cap.

    Is still available from Amazon for $49USD +shipping to Australia ($10 or so). Why is the AU RRP so much more than the US?

    Not the best for image quality, but it's a fun lens to shoot with. Got one to go with my E-PM1.
