Olympus PRO 17mm f1.2 Lens

Olympus OMD 17mm f1.2

A wide 34mm equivalent focal length, finds this new Olympus 17mm f1.2 lens is perfect for fitting the most majestic and wide-spread sights into your humble frame. This wide-reach will be a real pleasure for the landscape, street and documentary photographer to harness, while the large f1.2 aperture will allow these photographers to leave their tripods behind and head about their day of shooting, without a heavy load on their shoulders. As well as this bright aperture, Olympus utilised advanced measurements during the research and design stages of the lens, which helped them to define just what made the best lenses throughout history such a success, so their bokeh quality could be emulated in this lens.

6 ED lenses, including the brand new ED-DSA lens, and DSA lenses have been utilised in the optical construction of the 17mm f1.2 lens, which amounts to sharp and detailed images without the problems that commonly plague similar lenses (chromatic aberrations). Also used in the construction, is the Z coating nano which has been applied to the lens surface. This coating reduces the appearance of ghosting and flare, resulting in clearer and sharper pictures.

Even the speediest of subjects cannot escape with this Olympus lens up front. Consistently fast and accurate autofocus is a given, thanks to the Movie and Still compatible AF mechanism, which is surprisingly lightweight, lending to the overall compact form factor of the lens. On the high-performance OM-D E-M1 Mark II body, you can get the most out of this Autofocus system, with the ability to accurately focus on any area of the frame, with blistering pace.
