Olympus 17mm f1.8 Interchangeable Lens for Olympus/Panasonic Micro Cameras

This high-speed, single-focal-length, wide-angle lens is ideal for shooting high-quality, dramatic landscapes and street scenes in low-light conditions. It has a beautiful full-metal body and a snap ring that enables photographers to pan focus with a distance indicator.

Snapshot Focus Mechanism

A beneficial feature for street photography, the snapshot mechanism is activated simply by pulling the focusing ring back, with distance and depth of field indicators that allow users to focus without looking at the camera screen.

Movie-Still Compatible (MSC)

The linear drive motor found in the M.Zuiko Digital ED 17mm f1.8 is Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) and provides fast, nearly silent focusing and aperture performance; a must-have for any videographer.

ZERO Coating

Adapted from multilayer film deposition technology used in Olympus' industry-leading line of precision microscopes, the Zuiko Extra-Low Reflective Optical Coating practically eliminates ghosts and flares caused by in-frame light sources. This feature in invaluable when shooting into the sun or other back-lit situations.

Dual Super Aspherical Element

A single, highly precise Dual Super Aspherical, or DSA element keeps the 17mm f1.8 compact by replacing multiple lens elements in order to correct for chromatic and comatic aberrations. High contrast scenes and astrophotography never looked so good!

Bright f1.8 Aperture

A bright f1.8 aperture allows you to focus on getting the shot. Whether you're shooting in a dimly lit restaurant, or capturing a night-scene on city streets, you won't have to worry about having enough light.

Serious Hand-Held Performance

Paired with the serious in-body image stabilization of the Olympus OM-D and PEN series of cameras, this extremely bright f1.8 lens allows you to shoot longer hand-held exposures, which is especially handy for night-time street photography.

    Perfect candid street lens for the non pixel peeper...
    4 Stars
    Perfect candid street lens for the non pixel peeper...
    I picked this up in lieu of the stellar but dated Pany 20mm f1.7. The stand out specs for me were the size, 1/2" larger than the 20mm pancake but also slightly more than a 1/2" smaller than the PL25 f 1.4. Fast f1.8, convenient and classic 35mm FL (35mm film conversion equivalent). The faster aperature over the Oly 17mm pancake makes a huge difference. I won't make this a technical review because I don't have the science to back it up. But my opinion after a week with it is what I'll share.Low light it tends to hunt a little more than my PL25 but less than the Oly 45 but tilt the camera 45degrees to get a little contrast and reframe the shot and you will be fine. The snap ring for manual focus is genius, is the closest to a mechanical focus I have used on any fly by wire lens system to date, if hey could have somehow incorporated the zoom view or a focus assist feature it would have been a perfect manual focus set-up. Like a focus peek feature, maybe in a later firmware update? The manual snap ring has a very accurate distance scale though not on screen on the lens barrel, and the snap ring places the entire fous range in a 1/4 turn of the ring meaning thre isn't the infinite spinning of the focus ring, and the infinity focus is accurate, I was able to capture some distant holiday lights with ease and fast capture in total darkness.The images can be soft at the edges but they have a character I like from my OM legacy glass, and the AF is on par with the newest M4/3 lens offerings and better than some of the original lens.In my opinion if it were weather sealed to match the newer GH3 and EM5 bodies it would be a 5star rating, but I cannot take stars off for features not there. 4 stars for the slight softness, lack of focus peeking with the snap ring engaged, otherwise a great addition to my EM5 and it slides perfectly into a jacket or cargo leg pocket now.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible street photography lens
    Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2018
    Extremely small lens with great sharpness and speed. It might be the perfect “walk around” lense for street photography (imho) if you want stealth, light and ease of use.

    The “clutch” ( pulling the ring back) automatically puts the camera into manual focus ( Olympus).. and give me incredible composition flexibility. Btw once you use it... you’ll be wondering what isn’t like this on all lenses.

    The hood doesn’t come with it, and I should have added it. Another discovery, it’s how small it is on the Olympus OMD 1mkii body.. which IIS a good thing but, coming from the canon slr world, I’m use to having a B.A.L. ( big @xx lens)..I’ll get used to it😜.

    It’s not weather sealed and because it so fast F1.8 ( for m4/3). I recommend an polorizer and or a ND filter. For this s hi noon conditions. Other than that , don’t hesitate and get this Lens. I have the silver version.
