While we found that this lens is a capable performer under the right circumstances, and we love its signature "snapshot" focus ring, there are simply better choices out there for Micro Four Thirds shooters-several of which are actually less expensive. We love the Olympus 25mm f/1.8, for instance.

The Olympus M.Zuiko 17mm f/1.8 is - as of the time of this review - the 4th high-speed prime lens for the micro-four-thirds (MFT) system by Olympus. It is a moderate wide-angle lens thus targeting applications such as street-, landscape- and still-life photography.

It is just not as sharp as the Panasonic 15mm. Angle of view is not the issue between these two; perspective is. How multiple planes of space get layered. For layering space, this lens has an advantage. But that does not offset the softness in my opinion.

The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 17mm f1.8 ($499.99 direct) is a fast wide-angle lens for Micro Four Thirds cameras . The image sensors in these cameras are smaller than a 35mm film frame or a full-frame D-SLR, which gives the lens a field of view that's roughly equivalent to a 35mm lens in that format-a...

The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 17mm f1.8 ($499.99 direct)($339.00 at Amazon) is a fast wide-angle lens for Micro Four Thirds cameras. The image sensors in these cameras are smaller than a 35mm film frame or a full-frame D-SLR, which gives the lens a field of view that's roughly equivalent to a 35mm lens in that format—a classic wide-angle design. It's incredibly sharp, even wide open, and compatible with mirrorless cameras from Olympus and Panasonic. It's a bit more expensive than the Canon EF-M 22mm f/2 STM($249.00 at Amazon), which is compatible with EOS M cameras, but is compatible with a wider range of camera bodies. Because of this it earns our Editors' Choice award for wide-angle lenses for compact interchangeable lens cameras. The lens is fairly small, measuring just 1.4 by 2.3 inches (HD). It's a bit heavy for its size at 4.2 ounces, but that's due to an all-metal lens barrel. It has a standard 46mm filter thread and includes a clip-on lens cap, but there's no lens hood incl...
