  • Fast & Compact Olympus 17mm f1.8

    A nice compact lens giving the equivalent angle of view of a 34mm lens on a 35mm sensor/fillm. Maybe not the sharpest wide open at f1.8 but so useful to be able to get that extra light in. Works well on my basic Panasonic G10, Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mount. The focus ring has end stops at close focus and infinity or pushing the focus ring forward allows infinity turn and auto focus capabilities. Annoyingly the manual focus ring goes past infinity which makes it a little harder to judge distances on the focus scale. No manual iris ring, aperture controlled through camera. The focus is electronic, no mechanics, so pulling focus in video mode is a little unnatural where the focus snaps in if the ring is moved too fast. All in all a great lens for micro four third cameras allowing you to get a shallow depth of field and lots of light.

  • Excellent little lens

    I have been replacing my Canon lenses with Olympus since switching to mirrorless and wanted this general purpose wide angle prime to complete the range. I bought it as "nearly new" from speedyguns for almost half the list price and when it arrived it was to all intents and purposes brand new. In use it is very fast, very lightweight and ideal for street photography. It has a manual focus ring which is operated by simply sliding back the ring to expose the distance scale, but in practice I use the autofocus as it is so fast to lock on. I also have the 45mm f1.8 and would say that this is easily as good. An excellent buy - highly recommended.

  • Good quality walkabout all purpose lens.

    Good all-purpose walk around lens. Small and light, good image quality. I have the 12- 40 mm zoom which covers even more shooting situations, but is a big, heavy conspicuous lens to carry about. Recommended.

  • As clear as my Pentax primes

    As a Pentax user I am used to really good lenses. This one was a nice surprise. I bought a micro 4/3 camera as a convenient carry around but, with this lens it has become my main camera. Perfect all round lens at roughly 35mm equivalent its does the jib for arty shots, landscapes and portrait. Really clear high quality pictures straight out of the camera.

  • Great little lens to have on your camera and be ready for action

    Even though it was pre owned, it was in mint condition. Super fast auto focus on OMD camera. A great little lens.

  • Great little lens for having on your camera most of the time

    This lens has a very fast focus, lovely rendering of tones in colour and black and white and the "snapshot" manual focus ring is so handy! My most used lens other than the Olympus 12-40 2.8 pro. I used to use 50mm equivalent (25mm) the most but have found that the 17mm (a 35mm equivalent on MFT) is much more useful for a range of situations. It is also bright enough at f1.8 for interior shooting. Very good for people shots wide open.

  • Amazing small body lens with sharp images.

    Amazing small body lens with sharp images. Fits perfectly on my OM-D EM-10 MKII, easy to travel around the city on my backpack or jacket. Construction is all metal and the option to manual focus from the snap option on the lens itself is great. Very happy.

  • A good overall balance of features.

    A good balance of size, weight, maximum aperture and image quality (I'm sure the f1.2 is better in some ways, but it's huge and expensive). Used on several jobs so far, and I'm sure it will pay for itself. I haven't exposed it to heavy rain, and Olympus don't claim that it's weather sealed, so I can't really comment on it's durability.
