I have gone totally manual and I am loving it. Using in camera B&W with a red filter. M 4/3 users, I recommend the Laowa 17mm 1.8. It's a good value at around $150. It's manual and the closest focus is slightly under 6 inches. It balances well on your M 4/3.

I like that! B&W is fun and I often forget that I really like to use it.

What you see is very close to the out of camera image. I cropped and cleaned up the background a bit. There were a few minor tweaks.
