  • The Olympus 17mm f1.2 PRO is a mild wide-angle lens with a bright focal ratio designed for Micro Four Thirds bodies. When mounted on a Micro Four Thirds body, the 17mm delivers coverage equivalent to 34mm, providing flexible general-purpose coverage: wide...

  • We spent an enjoyable morning exploring the capabilities of the review lens, taking pictures around Circular Quay on the edge of Sydney Harbour. The lens was a pleasure to use and made an ideal partner to our OM-D E-M1 II camera.The combination was small...

  • Pleasing “feathered bokeh” effect, F/1.2 maximum aperture, Sharp, even wide open, Weather-sealed, AF/MF clutch
  • Some chromatic aberration, Held back by MFT sensors
  • Well, if it isn't obvious by now, yes, absolutely. If you're invested in the MFT system and have the budget for it, there is no other wide-angle prime that can match the build quality or image quality of the M.Zuiko 17mm F1.2 Pro...

  • Dernière-née de la gamme M.Zuiko Pro, cette focale fixe de 17 mm (équivalent à un 34 mm) jouit d'une ouverture ultra lumineuse de f/1,2 et rejoint donc les 25 et 45 mm déjà présents au catalogue. Ce nouvel objectif devrait en toute logique faire le bonheu...
