Olympus M Zuiko Digital 17mm f/1.8 Lens | Black

The M.Zuiko Digital 17mm f/1.8 lens from Olympus serves as a versatile option for general photography, providing a 34mm equivalent wide-angle perspective for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. Its expansive field of view, combined with a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture, enhances performance in challenging lighting situations and allows for greater manipulation of depth of field, facilitating selective focusing techniques. The lens’s optical construction incorporates aspherical and high refractive index glass elements, effectively minimizing spherical aberrations and distortion across the aperture range, thereby enhancing sharpness and clarity. Furthermore, it features a Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) autofocus system that ensures rapid and silent focusing, along with a manual focus clutch for more intuitive focus adjustments and control.

• Wide-angle prime is designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras and provides a 34mm equivalent focal length.
• Fast f/1.8 maximum aperture helps to achieve shallow depth of field and selective focusing effects, and also benefits working in difficult lighting conditions.
• One DSA (Dual Super Aspherical) element, two aspherical elements, and one high refractive index element contribute to a marked reduction in distortion and spherical aberrations for notable sharpness and accurate rendering throughout the aperture range.
• Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) autofocus system benefits both photo and video applications due to its smooth, quiet, and fast performance.
• Manual focus clutch lets you quickly pull the focusing ring into place for direct, intuitive focus control.
• Rounded seven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
