What is the olympus 15mm f 8 body cap lens good for?

The Olympus 15mm f/8 Body Cap Lens is a tiny, manual-focus prime for Micro Four Thirds cameras. It's about as thin as a body cap, so it's for when you want the smallest possible kit in your bag. On Micro Four Thirds it frames like a 30mm lens on full frame, which is a comfortable everyday view for street, travel and general snaps. Its fixed f/8 aperture gives deep depth of field, so you can usually get everything in focus without fiddling. It won't do well in low light or with blurry backgrounds.

It fits most Micro Four Thirds bodies, including the OM System OM-5, the OM System OM-1 Mark II and the Panasonic Lumix GX9. For more on choosing lenses in general, see lenses.
