Olympus' shiny new lenses (pictures)

The lens incorporates a focus limit switch, with a quick toggle for 1:1 magnification.

There's an indicator on the lens that shows you what your current magnification/distance is.

The one potential disappointment is the seven-bladed aperture, though given the price it's probably a reasonable trade-off.

An interesting idea, the 15mm f8 flatter-than-a-pancake body cap lens might be a nice choice for street shooting on bright days.

I just think this lens looks extra-cool in black.

Olympus' current inexpensive 17mm f2.8 pancake lens is pretty ho-hum; this sounds like a great alternative, as long as it's not excessively expensive.
