Olympus 17mm f/2.8

 

A 17mm wide angle Micro Four Thirds lens from Olympus

Ultra wide-angle view

Very high price

This is a slightly disappointing curve but the results are impressive across the most-used apertures given the wide angle-of-view offered

It's hard not to fall for the E-P1's charms. The unashamedly nostalgic design combines with true SLR quality in a remarkably pocketable package. The lack of flash and viewfinder will put some off, as will the relatively slow focus, but overall this...

Excellent resolution, tons of detail in the shots, Appealing, bright and punchy out of camera results and well optimized JPEGs, Very clever collapsible kit lens that's small, but offers decent quality, Unique retro design puts SLR quality into a...

Slow focus requires a more considered approach to shooting, Some highlight clipping (and poor dynamic range at ISO 100), Low resolution screen that's hard to see in bright light, No viewfinder, No built-in flash (and the optional flash is expensive and...

Olympus M.ZUIKO Digital 17mm f/2.8 Review

 

The Olympus M:ZUIKO Digital 17mm f/2.8 is an adorable, tiny lens that looks great on any compatible camera, especially the retro Olympus PEN E-P1 and E-P2 for which it was designed. Optically though, it's a bit of a mixed bag. Its sharpness and...

Olympus 17mm f/2.8 M.Zuiko Digital Review

 

Optically, the lens performs well, though not exceptionally: it's reasonably sharp wide open, though best used at ƒ/4, and chromatic aberration is higher than we'd like.

Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 17mm 1:2.8 Pancake

 

Really compact so comfy on strap round your neck and take quick snaps (mostly of my kids in my case) in the garden, home, park, etc. I've managed to catch a lot of images I would have missed. Lots of light gets in very quickly so with some small...

Even though very compact and happy with the size, a little longer than I thought. Check the dimensions as the image is deceiving. The lens cap hasn't got a cord to attach to the lens or camera, have to put it in my back pocket all the time. Would be...

Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 17mm 1:2.8 Pancake

 

Nice clear shots with nice depth of field

Not sure if I got a really bad one but the focus motor was so noisey my wife heard it 10 feet away with the TV on.It also seemed to use a lot of battery power when using the auto focus was from an average of 300 shots to 210.
