The M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 17mm 1:1.8 (34mm*) lens possesses outstanding image quality in a lightweight and extremely compact form. Its ultra‑bright 1:1.8 large aperture not only facilitates the ability to capture shots with eye‑catching depth of field blur, it also enables tripod‑free shooting in low light conditions – further accentuated by the in‑body image stabilisation of the latest Olympus Micro Four Thirds System cameras. Besides the extremely bright 1:1.8 aperture, this premium Micro Four Thirds‑compliant wide‑angle lens also impresses due to its unique mechanisms for Snapshot Focusing and Movie & Stills Compatible (MSC) autofocusing as well as a special ZERO lens coating for high quality results.
