**** This Week Thru Your M43 (December 15, 2012) ****

I have some shots from my new $299 LX7 (WHAT a camera for that price!) but not much m43 this week. My bodycap lens did arrive though and I took a very short walk with it - around the block once - just to see what it would do. Here are two from that - I think this lens will work really well for me. I spend a lot of time with the 12mm at f8 in manual focus doing zone/hyperfocal street photography, but 14mm is my more preferred focal length. And 15mm is close enough for govt work. It isn't the sharpest lens in the bag, but I don't need ultra-sharp for street photography - it can almost be a detriment - so this lens could spend some time on the camera. The only problem is its actually too small and light for the OMD which needs a LITTLE bit of weight on the front to keep the camera to hang neutrally from a strap. With this lens I have to hold it or it'll tip over backward. Someday I'll have an EPL5 body - maybe soon if Santa got my notes - and it should be a LOT of fun on that little guy. Its not the lens for a pixel peeper, but I've never met a pixel I liked spending any time with anyway, so it'll work for me...
