Micro 4/3 Olympus 15mm F8 Body Cap Lens

[Gubrz]

i think i need an epl5 just for this lens, since my pl25 seems glued to my em5 for the time being.. i CLEARLY require another body... ok, ill settle for an epm1, plus i can get it in purple...

A sense of play arises again when I use this lens.

Goofing around. I posted these on mu-43, but decided to include them here too. I'm having an awful lot of fun with this lens, and foresee it being on my soon to arrive E-PM2 quite a bit. Aperture priority auto, point, and shoot. (after any appropriate exposure compensation)

E-M5 with bodycap lens

 

[Prototype]

I've decided to join in on the fun! Here are some photos in central Illinois taken with the E-PM1. I found the lens enjoyable to use, especially with the optical viewfinder. I don't really think it's a toy lens, as it is quite capable of delivering decent results.

Two more, in monochrome:

What optical viewfinder are you using? the body cap is 30mm in 35mm equiv. isn't it? 28mm OVF as guesstimate?

You're right, 28mm 3:2 OVF. The vertical framelines are close to accurate. It's funny, because I have inserted the memory card and found several blank (black) JPEGs. I never shot film, so it's not in my mindset to remove the lens cap (or, in my case, switch the lever).

That's funny, and most of us have experienced that I guess, the mysterious long exposure after clicking the shutter button on a bright sunny day!
