Review on Olympus M Zuiko 17Mm 2 8 Lens by Adisorn Sarakari ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Just super, the product is made wonderfully, very satisfied.

I have owned it for 3 years. It was bought in Pattaya. It is practically a regular lens on rm1. A good focal point. It is sharp in the open both in the center and along the edges (in a ravine!) In a jeep, the edges are washed away due to software correction of distortions. It helps a lot on trips, because it takes up little space. And in winter, for pm1 + 17 2.8, there is simply no alternative. fits easily into a jacket pocket. Quite decent glass for the price.

Pros
  • Small, compact, sharp. Complete with pm 1, it gives decent results for pictures and videos at pocket sizes (soapy). Aperture 2.8 is enough for almost all shooting conditions without a flash.
Cons
  • In some cases, autofocus "dulls". When shooting video, autofocus is heard, it refocuses one hundred at a time, due to which the sharpness (floats), and therefore I get by with manual focusing.
