Olympus M.ZUIKO Digital 17mm f/1.8 Review

 

The beautifully crafted, all-metal Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 17mm f/1.8 is a strong performer in the optical department, offering very good sharpness wide open, and excellent performance when stopped down to f/2.8 or f/4. The f/5.6 and f/8 settings...

Never leaves my camera

Fantastic!

 

Fantastic little lens. The autofocus is fast and accurate, images are crisp and the depth of field at f.18 leaves lovely bokeh. I use this lens for street mostly and it is perfect. i also took it on a recent trip to Florida and it never left my camera.
