It's never complete

The 8FE is an interesting addition. On a 4/3 sensor, it's a subdued effect as compared to FE on a FF sensor. More 'mildly suspicious' than 'really fishy'. Curiously enough, the AOV is a bit wider than 7mm rectilinear. You can manipulate the fisheye effect with careful placement of straight lines in the composition, getting more or less depending on where the vertical lines are placed.

You may need some aux lighting. I still use my faithful FL50: very powerful, and fills nicely with the Lumiquest 80/20 bouncer. The FL50 isn't small, but it really puts out the light.

Very close macro with the 60M really benefits from extra light, like the STF-22 twin head macro flash. I use mine with the ZD 50M+EX25 extension tube. Supposedly, a STF to 60M adapter exists, but I've never been able to find it in Oly catalogs.

And, oh dear, they're now saying that the new EM5 will have sensor shift/electronic shutter to get up to 60MP. Don't know what one would do with a 60MP image, but it would be interesting to find out.

So much gear... so little money...
