Value for Money

Available for around £60 this lens is one of the cheapest lenses available, at this price point the most direct alternative would be the Wanderlust PinWide with an extremely compact form factor (although shutter speeds will be much slower). Alternative "Toy" Lenses such as the Holga Plastic Lens (available for around £20), SLR-Magic Toy-Lens (£79), are available although none offer the compactness of the Olympus. You would need to spend at least double to buy a compact prime lens, such as the Panasonic 14mm (available for around £189), or Sigma 19mm (available for around £99 for the original model).
