M.Zuiko Digital 17mm f/1.8

The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 17mm f/1.8 is a wide-angle prime lens designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras, offering a 34mm equivalent focal length with a 65-degree angle of view. The bright f/1.8 maximum aperture enables shallow depth of field for selective focusing techniques while providing excellent performance in challenging lighting conditions. Advanced optical elements including one dual super aspherical element, two additional aspherical elements, and one high refractive index element work together to minimize distortion and spherical aberrations across the entire aperture range.

The lens features a Movie and Still Compatible (MSC) autofocus system that delivers smooth, quiet, and fast focusing performance suitable for both photography and video work. A manual focus clutch allows for quick, intuitive focus control when needed, and the rounded seven-blade diaphragm produces pleasing bokeh characteristics. This compact lens weighs only 4.23 ounces and has a minimum focus distance of 9.84 inches, making it a versatile option for general shooting with Micro Four Thirds systems.
