The Laowa 17mm f/1.8 MFT Lens is a manual focus, micro four thirds system lens that provides a 17mm focal length and an f/1.8 maximum aperture. It incorporates one Super ED element to reduce chromatic aberration and color fringing, as well as a Frog Eye Coating that reduces lens flare, ghosting, and reflection when working in harsh lighting conditions. The lens also has a manual focus design with seven aperture blades to ensure smooth bokeh quality.
