Olympus 15mm f8.0 Body Cap Wide Angle Lens, Black - for Micro Four Thirds System

About the Olympus 15mm F/8

The Olympus BCL-15mm f8.0 Body Cap Lens serves as a body cap when carrying the camera around without its interchangeable lens, and transforms to become a pan-focus snapshot lens to capture images. The lens is so thin - just 9mm thick - that it can easily be mistaken for a camera-mount body cap. With three glass lens elements in three groups, it can be used as a wide-angle lens equivalent with a single focal length of 30mm (35mm camera equivalent).

In addition to daily use as a 'pan-focus' lens featuring a wide angle, fixed f8 aperture and high depth of field, it is compatible with manual focusing using a lever and capable of close-up shooting as close as 30 cm. A lens-protection barrier is provided so the lens can be mounted permanently on the camera and even put in a pocket together with the camera.

• Serves as body cap to protect camera's sensor and internal functions, but has small 15mm wide-angle lens to shoot while cap is in place.
• 30mm focal length in 35mm format.
• Pan-focus lens and fixed f/8.0 aperture.
• Manual focus lever for closer focusing.
• 9mm thick.
