I own the Olympus 9mm, got the 7 Artisans UFO lens based on your review and have now ordered the Pergear 10mm also based on your review. I especially like the fact that they include a metal lens cap. Wish 7 Artisans would have included a cap for their lens. Thank you air your excellent reviews. I follow you constantly.

Thanks Fernado, sorry for giving you GAS ahhah. Well, we live in a world that has too many things to empty our pockets. Lucky this one isn't expensive.

Always late to the party, have had an eye on this lens for the last several months but was afraid to sink $80 into it. (Yeah, I’m cheap) Just last Saturday was checking the Pergear site and the lens was listed as on sale for $55 for M4:3 mount! Couldn’t get my credit card out fast enough. Lens arrived Friday and you are right, what a blast! I see now the lens is back to regular price.

Can't wait for someone to make a weather-sealed body cap lens one day. Waiting for both this lens and the UFO lens to come in, thanks for your reviews.

How does it compare to the 7Artisans 7.5mm f2.8 fisheye? I really like that lens but it is a hefty little thing, I miss having the Oly 9mm f8 fisheye in my pocket as an alternative to the 14mm or 12-32mm. I can see the edges are much worse but I was always happy to crop the Oly for street photos (currently using Fuji and there is nothing like this). Having to crop less with this 10mm than the 7.5mm could be a resolution boost in itself.

Thanks for all your comments mate. I would say that 7Artisans may just be a tad better and the flexibility of opening up to 2.8 if needed. But a body cap lens like this is a totally different type. It's designed for quick snaps and quick reaction photography (almost no focusing needed). There's a pan focal lens that I reviewed too which is a pan focal and with a faster aperture. That one is quite special too.

Looks like an interesting lens but it is only a few dollars less that the Pergear 35 1.2 lens I purchased. The price would have to came down a bit to be considered

I used to love going out with the GM5 and 14mm (without cap) in my pants pockets and the Oly 9mm BCL in the other pocket. Probably the main thing I miss about M43. I used to prefer that to using a Ricoh GR.

@@vrettakosalexandros I don't think there are many info on this, since not many people actually use this feature (thanks to the small group of users who actually use videos features in Olympus cameras). I don't think it's even in the manual, but Olympus added this feature kind of as an after thought. You can basically do the same thing when you edit your video and just do a frame grab.
