The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 17mm f/1.2 PRO Lens represents a pinnacle of wide-angle optics for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless systems, distinguished by its exceptional f/1.2 maximum aperture. This fast aperture proves invaluable in low-light conditions while granting photographers precise control over depth-of-field and subject separation. The lens employs a sophisticated 15-element, 11-group optical design incorporating extra-low dispersion, aspherical, and high refractive index materials that effectively combat chromatic and spherical aberrations, ensuring exceptional sharpness and color accuracy throughout the frame. A nine-blade diaphragm produces smooth, aesthetically pleasing bokeh rendering for shallow depth-of-field applications, while Z Coating Nano technology applied to individual elements minimizes reflections, flare, and ghosting to maximize contrast and image quality. At 34mm equivalent focal length, this versatile optic serves as an essential tool for contemporary mirrorless photography.
This M.Zuiko optic incorporates robust weather-sealed construction, enabling reliable performance across demanding environmental conditions and challenging shooting scenarios. The integrated Movie & Still Compatible (MSC) autofocus system delivers rapid, silent focusing performance optimized for both photographic and videographic applications, ensuring seamless operation across diverse content creation workflows. A manual focus clutch mechanism facilitates instantaneous transition to manual focus control when precision or creative intent demands direct lens manipulation. The lens barrel features a printed depth-of-field scale, providing photographers with practical reference for pre-focusing and hyperfocal distance calculations—essential tools for maximizing depth-of-field coverage and ensuring critical focus placement in demanding situations.
- Standard wide-angle 17mm lens is designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras and provides a 34mm equivalent focal length.
- Exceptionally fast f/1.2 maximum aperture supports working in difficult lighting conditions and affords extensive control over depth of field for selective focus techniques.
- The intricate optical design employs one Super Extra-Low Dispersion element, three extra-low dispersion elements, one Extra-Low Dispersion Dual-Sided Aspherical element, one Extra-Low Dispersion Aspherical element, one Super High Refractive Index element, and one aspherical element, which all work in concert to control chromatic and spherical aberrations for improved clarity, reduced color fringing, and enhanced sharpness.
- A Z Coating Nano has been applied to individual lens elements to noticeably reduce surface reflections and prevent lens flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color neutrality in strong lighting conditions.
- An MSC autofocus system, along with an internal focusing design, provides quick, quiet, and precise focusing performance to benefit both still photo shooting and movie recording. Additionally, an MF clutch is used for fast changing to manual focus for more precise control.
- Programmable L-Fn (lens function) button for easily accessible settings adjustment.
- Weather-sealed construction guards the lens against dust, moisture, and freezing temperatures for working in harsh environments.
- Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
