Philippe, all,
Indeed, a very cool little one this Pancake 25mm from Olympus.
I made a few shots with it attached to the Digilux. It is not among the
sharpest but it ain't a Lomo ;)
Still, it has the tiny size that reminds of a Minox or a Rollei. At least a
Minox on Steroid, given the bulk a Digilux 3 has :)
Nice gallery you offered!
