Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 17mm f1.8
The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 17mm f1.8 ($499.99 direct) is a fast wide-angle lens for Micro Four Thirds cameras . The image sensors in these cameras are smaller than a 35mm film frame or a full-frame D-SLR, which gives the lens a field of view that's roughly equivalent to a 35mm lens in that format-a...
Pros:
- Very sharp
- Fast aperture
- Compact
- Manual focus clutch system.
Cons:
- Hood not included
- Not weather sealed

This serves as my primary lens on my Oly E-P3 soon to be E-P5 :)
This prime is excellent for what it is. It's a fantastic streetshooter and the build quality is what I expected paying the high dollar for it. I love the Oly hood for it, too! Images with it are cleaner compared to the 17 2.8 pancake. It's truest strength is its fast AF speed and quiet motor.

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.

Solid, Sharp, and Beautiful
This lens was a lot better than I expected. When I got the lens I was surprised how well built it was. The silver lens also makes my Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera look beautiful, which is always a plus.
Pros:
- Durable
- Easy To Use
- Reliable
Cons:
- Heavy

Pros:
- Absolutely beautiful and sturdy construction
- 34mm FOV with f1.8
Cons:
- Lenshood not included and it's pricey

Transformative! (vs Panasonic 20mm)
Before buying the Olympus 17mm f1.8, I'd been using the 1st-generation Panasonic 20mm f1.7 as my main lens for over three years. The Olympus is bigger and heavier than the Panasonic, which is not to say that it's either big or heavy (it's perfectly in proportion with my E-PL3 and GF-1), just that...

Outstanding work by Olympus.
This has got to be the best m4/3 lens available in the market.

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 17mm F1.8 Lens Black - Brand New review
A lens that puts manual focusing a snap away
11 years ago
While we found that this lens is a capable performer under the right circumstances, and we love its signature "snapshot" focus ring, there are simply better choices out there for Micro Four Thirds shooters-several of which are actually less expensive. We love the Olympus 25mm f/1.8, for instance.
