15mm f8 Olympus lens topic

Vitaliy_Kiselev

What the 15mm does offer is the ability to turn a Micro Four Thirds body into a tiny package that's ready shoot at the flick of a lever, and capture images which are good enough for social sharing, or as a basis for further manipulation, such as with in-camera filters.

At the end of the day we enjoyed shooting with it, 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 must give it a try.

And now there is a 9mm version. VK, shall I make a separate topic? I don't think this will need it, as there's not much difference apart from focal length.

Olympus' tactic of playing down the optical performance of this lens need not be necessary. Even though this lens only costs £90 and is little more than a body cap with some glass in it, it is still capable of delivering decent quality images. Those who fancy experimenting with the fisheye look but don't relish the thought of forking out proper fisheye money, this lens is ideal.

Overall, this lens is fun to use, thanks to its compact size and fuss-free operation.
