Review on πŸ“· Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 17mm F1.8 Lens: Sleek Black Micro Four Thirds Camera Accessory with Premium Performance by Isaac Islam

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Incredible lens for street photography

Very small lens with excellent sharpness and speed. This could be the perfect 'running' lens for street photography (IMHO) if you want stealth, lightness and ease of use. "Clutch" (pulling back the ring) automatically puts the camera in manual focus (Olympus). and give me incredible compositional flexibility. By the way, once you use it. You'll wonder what's wrong with all lenses. The lens hood is not included and I had to add one. Another discovery is how small it is on the Olympus OMD 1mkii body. that IIS is good, but coming from the Canon SLR world I'm used to having a BAL (large @xx lens). I will get used to it. It's not weatherproof and because it's so fast F1.8 (for m4/3). I recommend a polarizer or neutral density filter. For these noon conditions. Otherwise, don't hesitate and get this lens. I have the silver version.

Pros
  • Great!
Cons
  • Expensive
