Re: Oly 8mm f1.8 vs Pana 8mm f3.5

There are certain advantages to Olympus 8mm f/1.8 over the Panasonic lens, but light gathering underwater is not one of them. At equivalent aperture they will gather the same amount of light, give or take a little bit for transmission losses. See this thread on Wetpixel for this specific subject: https://wetpixel.com/forums/index.php?/topic/65922-wideangle-fisheye-lens-oly-8mm-fisheye-pro-or-pana-8mm-fisheye/
