The Body Cap Lens The 15mm F8 offers a moderately-wide angle of view that's equivalent to 30mm in full frame, which means that it's just slightly narrower than the 14-42mm kit zooms that come with most Micro Four Thirds cameras. It has a fixed aperture of F8, which isn't exactly fast, but does mean it offers immense depth of field; when it's set to its 'snap' position, everything from about 1.5 meters to infinity is in reasonably sharp focus. The lens doesn't communicate with the camera in any way.

 

I enjoy this lens because of its tiny size, mostly you would not even see that their is a lens on the camera. With the simplicity it brings to the process and its natural synergy with Olympus's Art Filters in particular. Micro Four Thirds users looking to bring something different to their photography could do worse than give it a try.
