oddly excited about the Olympus 9mm lens body cap

[yossarian123]

The 15mm lens cap is kind of addicting - image quality isn't horrible and it cost me $35. When I heard the E-M10 & 25/1.8 announcements, the 9mm was pretty much the most interesting part for me. an 18mm equivalent lens cap? sign me up.

btw, sample pics are up:

i'm glad i'm not the only one ... i don't have any oly cameras but the body cap lenses look like a hoot and giving m4/3 a serious thought.

the quality of the 9mm at least in these small shots do not look too bad

Yeah, its looking pretty good so far. My preorder is already in, I haven't heard a shipping date yet.

That pancake zoom looks TINY.

You can't go wrong with a fisheye, in my opinion. It's not so long since I bought the Samyang 7.5mm, otherwise I'd have put my order in before replying to this thread!
