Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 17mm F1.8 Lens Black - Brand New review

A slight camera upgrade, new emergency features, and... not a whole lot else

Better selfie camera, Good battery life, Crash detection and satellite SOS are neat

It’s more like an iPhone 13S, Display is still 60Hz, eSIM transition will be easy for most but painful for some

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 17mm F1.8 Lens Black - Brand New review

It’s a great handset, but the improvements are so iterative that most of you will hardly notice what’s new.

Action mode offers truly superb video stabilization. eSIM makes it easy to switch phones (with other iPhones). Satellite SOS and Crash Detection add peace of mind.

Many of the specs remain the same as on the iPhone 13. Small battery gains. Photonic Engine isn’t as revolutionary as suggested.

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.

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 17mm F1.8 Lens Black - Brand New review

Slightly better cameras but otherwise, not much of an update - buy the iPhone 14 Pro or switch to Android instead

Better low-light photography, Slightly longer battery life, Action mode gives super stabilised video

The same performance as the iPhone 13, No Dynamic Island or Always-On display, 60Hz screen

Olympus M.ZUIKO Digital 17mm f/1.8

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.

Not the sharpest lens in M.Zuiko Premium line, but definitely decent enough even wide open. Perfect everyday prime. It's no way cheap lens, but still cheaper than closest equivalents in other systems: Canon 35/2 IS, Nikon 35/1,8 FX, Fuji 23/1,4, Tamron 35/1,8, Sony 35/2,8,...

Very good build quality; Very fast and silent AF; Very good MF; Size and weight perfectly fits on OM-D; Full metal

No lenshood and no pouch in package

REVIEW: Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 17mm f/1.8 Lens Review

This premium compact wide angle lens sports a fast f/1.8 maximum aperture and is compatible with all Micro Four Thirds cameras. The lens provides a field of view roughly equivalent to a 34mm lens used on a 35mm camera and costs around £440.

Olympus 17mm f/1.8 M.Zuiko Digital review by ysoli

This lens is a real gem: - Lens construction is first class with it's full metal body. You have to see it in real to really appreciate it. - 34 mm FOV with f1.8 is the best all-around performer I can imagine for the micro 4/3.

Absolutely beautiful and sturdy construction; 34mm FOV with f1.8

Lenshood not included and it's pricey

[REVIEW-OLYMPUS M.ZUIKO 17MM F1.8 LENS]

This lens is the latest addition to the Olympus range of premium prime lenses for the micro four thirds system cameras. It can be used on either Olympus or Panasonic cameras. The new lens is not to be confused with an older 17mm f2.8 unit. The new optic is faster, sharper and has quicker auto-focus.

Olympus 17mm f/1.8 M.Zuiko Digital

I decided to rewrite my review of this Olympus 17mm f/1.8 prime lens, because the optical quality of the first sample I had of this lens was really disappointing. Something was wrong with it. Luckily the sample I have now is much, much better. The build quality is great.

Build quality; autofocus; sharpness; contrast

Slight corner softness at large apertures
