Fun with the 15mm Bodycap lens
3

So, earlier today I drove by a nice spot and decided to do some shooting while the sun was still out.  And lo and behold, today was the day that I left the house with the battery on my EM 5 mk2 flat out dead.  After spending a few bemoaning my oversight, I broke out my backup camera, the EPM2.  Now, I tend to keep the EPM2 in my bag with the Olympus 15mm bodycap lens on it, in case I want to grab an impromptu snapshot.  I haven't actually used the bodycap lens very often, so before I swapped a nicer lens onto my camera I decided to see just what I could manage with this little toy lens.  As it turns out, I'm pleasantly surprised.  Now, I could have obviously gotten better results with any lens in my bag, but I'm still pretty happy with what I came out with today.  I'm definitely happy that I have the 15mm on my camera instead of a plain old bodycap.

A few examples for you.  I make no claims to them being anything outstanding, but I'm happy.
