Olympus M.Zuiko ED 17mm F1.2 Pro MFT Lens (2017)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Olympus M.Zuiko ED 17mm F1.2 Pro is a large-aperture wide-angle prime lens for Micro Four Thirds-mount. It covers the MFT image circle. Introduced by Olympus in 2017, it has 15 elements in 11 groups.
For incremental weathers, Olympus is kind enough to include weather sealing.
The bright maximum aperture for a wide-angle lens is appreciated for night photography, though some may prefer the perspective of an ultra wide-angle lens for this. Even though the lens is not stabilized, at this focal range it does not usually matter. In fact, some may be able to get cleaner corners without image stabilization.
