OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 17mm f/1.2 PRO Lens

Street, documentary and environmental portrait photographers who work after the light fades will find a natural partner in the M.Zuiko Digital ED 17mm f/1.2 PRO. On a Micro Four Thirds body it delivers a 34mm-equivalent field of view - wide enough to place a subject in context, tight enough to keep the frame clean - with a bright f/1.2 maximum aperture that keeps shutter speeds usable indoors and at night.

Optically this is one of the most elaborate primes in the M.Zuiko PRO line: 15 elements in 11 groups, including one Super ED, three ED, one aspherical, one ED-DSA and one Super HR element. The design is tuned for sharp detail wide open while producing smooth, feathered bokeh that falls off gradually for a natural three-dimensional look, and Z Coating Nano suppresses ghosting and flare when shooting toward bright light.

Handling is built for working professionals. A manual focus clutch snaps the ring between autofocus and manual focus, a programmable L-Fn button sits within reach of the left thumb, and the metal barrel is dustproof, splashproof (IPX1) and freezeproof. Fast, quiet High-Speed Imager AF (MSC) makes it equally suited to stills and video, and at 390 g it balances well on compact OM-D and OM SYSTEM bodies.
