OM System M.Zuiko 17mm f/1.8 Black Wide Angle Lens

The OM System M.Zuiko 17mm f/1.8 is a wide-angle lens designed for Micro Four Thirds cameras. This lens is compatible with cameras that use the Micro Four Thirds System, which includes various mirrorless cameras from Olympus and Panasonic, among others. It has an aperture range of f/1.8 to f/22. This allows for a wide range of light control and depth of field options, making it suitable for low-light conditions and achieving shallow depth-of-field effects. The lens has a fixed focal length of 17mm, providing a wide-angle field of view.

In terms of the 35mm format, the 17mm focal length is equivalent to approximately 34mm. This is often referred to as a standard or normal focal length. The lens features one high refractive index element, one DSA (Dual Super Aspherical) element, and two aspherical elements. These elements help to reduce aberrations and ensure high image quality. It has a manual focus clutch mechanism, allowing smooth and precise manual focus control.

The lens features a movie and still compatible autofocus system, which provides fast and accurate autofocus performance for both still photography and video recording. The lens has a rounded 7-blade diaphragm, which helps to produce pleasing bokeh (background blur) in out-of-focus areas.

The OM System M.Zuiko 17mm f/1.8 lens is a versatile wide-angle option for Micro Four Thirds cameras. Its wide maximum aperture, compact size, and advanced optical design make it suitable for a wide range of shooting situations, including landscapes, street photography, and low-light photography.
