New Lenses from Olympus Coming
#11
Just shoot at infinity and everything will be sharp....

#12
Reason for asking about hyperfocal distance is that, I understand the old body cap lens has a simple focus distance selector. I was wondering if the fisheye at f/8 would have enough depth of field not to need one. Given the MFD of 20cm, it seems it would still need a focus adjust. Thinking more, if they say MFD of 20cm, that implies it can focus at 20cm. You're not going to get to infinity from there...

 

Looking again at the image linked in the 1st post, there does seem to be a cut away section on the front of the lens where such a focus selector could be.
