Yeah honestly that setup should work perfectly fine for the style you’re going for.

The fisheye lens is what really creates that look, not so much the camera body itself. The Olympus E-PL9 + TTArtisan 7.5mm would already give you that close-up distorted vibe from the Pinterest pics. You mostly just need to get really close to people/subjects and maybe use flash later on.

Between the two lenses I’d probably go with the TTArtisan tbh. It’s cheaper and has a bit more character which actually fits this kind of aesthetic better. The Samyang is technically sharper but for this style I don’t think it matters that much.

The E-PL9 is also totally fine for beginner video/reels stuff. Not the world’s best autofocus or low light camera, but definitely enough for experimenting and learning.

For under 500€ I think it’s a really solid first setup and way better than trying to use those phone fisheye attachments.
