This is a shot with the 9mm f/8 "body cap lens" by Olympus used in my case on the E-P2. It wasn't really dark, though the sun had just set. Nonetheless, with an f/8 lens I had to shoot the ISO way up to 6400 (tops on the E-P2) and live with a shutter speed of 1/13 second. I'm not especially steady at slow speeds, especially after a couple of beer and some wine!, so it was good I had the E-P2's stabilisation thingey turned on. We were waiting for the cake.

For a long time I have thought I would like a fisheye lens. This week I got the so-call "body cap lens" from Olympus, a 9mm fisheye. Like any fisheye, in the right environment and held properly, it can give a fairly rectilinear image. But in most cases it gives that fisheye-look. Very nice in brighter light, but since it has only a single aperture, f/8, it ain't the fastest lens in the bag.
