Laowa 10mm f 2 zero d mft vs olympus 9mm f 8 fisheye body cap lens?

Both lenses fit the same Micro Four Thirds bodies, so the choice comes down to the look you want.

Pick the Laowa 10mm f/2 Zero-D MFT if you shoot in dim light or want some background separation. It's a proper f/2 prime that frames like 20mm on full frame, and at f/2 its depth of field is about that of f/4 there.

Pick the Olympus 9mm f/8 Fisheye Body Cap Lens if you want something tiny that lives in your bag and keeps almost everything sharp. Its fixed f/8 aperture means you'll need plenty of light, and as a fisheye it bends straight lines into a curved, dramatic look.

Both are manual focus and neither is stabilised. For most people the Laowa is the more useful lens. The Olympus is the fun one.
