Yeah, great review and I really like the photos with the 15mm body cap lens. Can't wait for mine to arrive!

Yes! But how can they call it the Pen "Lite" if there's no Pen (E-Px) anymore?!

Agree regarding the 15mm bodycap. The results look quite good. Would be interesting to see how much PP can sharpen the image further.

This could be a great streetshooting lens.
