It just arrived together with the 17/1.8 - it is dirt cheap in the US (double price in Oz) that I just added it to the order.

So far I didn't realized that it has a focus lever. :-) No EXIF data because it has no electronics so you have to select 'shoot without lens' on the camera.

It's quite funny that even Olympus isn't sure what it is. On their various websites it is either listed as accessory (cap) or lens.

So you will test the 15? I thought you regarded this not worth your time - on which I agree.


Buying stuff from around the globe - doesn't that give issues with warranty returns ( e.g. Customs) in case of de-centering? Since they speak and write some form of English in Oz - did you check that the local Olympus importer isn't supporting you now? You tried with unsuccessful with Olympus in Germany some time ago.


I'd like a 17 myself. I am a bit envious. Right now I am hoping for good E-P5 kit deals.
