Street-ready. Travel-light. Beautiful in any light.
A classic 35mm-equivalent field of view in a tiny, weather-sealed package, the 17mm f/1.8 II turns everyday scenes into photographs you’ll want to keep. Slip it on your OM SYSTEM or Micro Four Thirds body and wander—cafés, city blocks, rainy sidewalks, golden-hour trails. It focuses quietly and quickly, draws clean detail with gentle falloff, and disappears in your bag until the moment you need it.
Why you’ll love it (facts, translated into benefits):
-
Natural, tell-the-story view: 17mm on Micro Four Thirds (≈34mm full-frame) gives you that “just right” perspective for street, travel, family, and documentary work.
-
Low-light confidence: Bright f/1.8 aperture keeps ISO down and backgrounds soft for subject-first images day or night.
-
Real-world durability: IPX1 weather-sealed design is built for drizzle, dust, and unpredictable days.
-
Tiny but mighty: Just 112 g and 37.6 mm long—balances beautifully on compact bodies and never weighs you down.
-
Quiet, fast AF: MSC (Movie & Still Compatible) autofocus is swift and near-silent—great for both stills and video.
-
Clean, contrasty glass: ZERO coating helps tame flare/ghosting for crisp color and clarity in challenging light.
-
Get close for details: 0.25 m minimum focus and 0.08× magnification for context + detail storytelling.
-
Smooth blur: 7-blade circular diaphragm renders pleasing, rounded highlights.
-
Practical and ready: Uses common 46 mm filters and includes a lens hood in the box.
Ideal for: Photographers who want a pocketable, weather-sealed everyday prime that’s fast enough for night streets, discreet enough for candid moments, and versatile enough for everything in between.
