| I own it | I want it | I had it |
The Olympus Body Cap Lens 15mm F8 is a tiny, lightweight, inexpensive piece of kit that somehow squeezes a focusable three element lens into its 9mm-thick housing. Optically it doesn't win any plaudits, but in a way that's not really the point. Its real attraction lies in its portability and simplicity - you won't find a smaller lens. An ultra-slim cap and flexible, manual-focus, fixed-aperture lens in one; this is an ideal first accessory for the powerful new PEN Lite and PEN Mini. For close-ups, there's a lever to extend the focus range to just 30cm from your subject.
