Testing the new 8mm lens for M4/3

I've been testing the new f/1.8 8mm lens for the Olympus M4/3 cameras,
here on the OM-D E-M1. This was what my desk at home looked like last
night. It usually looks something like this, with a shortwave radio
on either side of me. I can see from the one on the right that I was
tuned to the ERT, Greek national radio. Whose phisog is on the
computer screen? The Prime Minister of Greece. Messy desk: I can see
at least three cameras and some film boxes. And lots of reading
material.

It is a fisheye lens so the long distance from side to side is much
more apparent than real. This was a sixth of a second but, because
it's such a wide lens, that didn't cause much shakiness. In PSP
afterwards, I tidied up the colour balance a little, smudged some
personal information :) and put that frame around it.

Even at f/1.8, it has very long depth of field, at least when it's
focussed at about one metre as it is here. Focussed closer (I was
able to focus down to about five inches from the film plane, uhh,
excuse me, the sensor plane), the out-of-focus areas are more
substantial.
