Lens in a Cap - Loreo

The LOREO Lens in a Cap  is a new body cap for SLR cameras with detachable lenses. It protects standard and digital SLR cameras from dust and dirt while keeping them ready for snapshots. It incorporates a fixed focus lens, which turns any SLR into a point-and-shoot camera, slim enough to pocket. It is a self-contained unit that mounts directly onto the camera body and does not need any supporting lens. This means that it does not work with SLRs which do not have detachable lenses, such as the Olympus E series digital cameras. Focal length is 35mm, and aperture is adjustable from f/5.6 - f/64. The aperture acts as a built-in lens shade. The Lens in a Cap ships in 8 common mount types - Canon EOS, FD, Nikon, Olympus (now discontinued), Pentax K, Minolta MD and AF, M42.

Olympus Cap Lens

Olympus makes a small cap lens for CAD$49. Here is the features extracted from the official web site:
"Olympus also introduces an intriguing new lens for its Micro Four Thirds line. The BCL-15mm f8.0 Body Cap Lens serves as a body cap when carrying the camera around without its interchangeable lens, and transforms to become a pan-focus snapshot lens to capture images. The lens is so thin – just 9mm thick – that it can easily be mistaken for a camera-mount body cap. With three glass lens elements in three groups, it can be used as a wide-angle lens equivalent with a single focal length of 30mm (35mm camera equivalent). In addition to daily use as a “pan-focus” lens featuring a wide angle, fixed f8 aperture and deep depth of field, it is compatible with manual focusing using a lever and capable of close-up shooting as close as 30 cm. A lens-protection barrier is provided so the lens can be mounted permanently on the camera and even put in a pocket together with the camera."
