Olympus M.ZUIKO PRO 17mm f/1.2 Lens - Black

Wide-Angle That Can Get Up-Close 

The Olympus M.Zuiko PRO 17mm f/1.2 Lens is a standard wide-angle lens that is also capable of achieving gorgeous up-close shots, with a minimum focusing distance of 20cm and shooting magnification of 0.15x (35mm equivalent: 0.3x). It’s outstanding when capturing delicate details and finer textures, such as in or portraiture or nature photography, and performs just as well in broader scenes such as landscapes and street photography.

Wide Aperture and Stunning Bokeh 

This prime wide-angle lens features a 9-blade aperture which delivers smooth bokeh quality when working with a shallow depth of field, giving you more freedom and flexibility for creative expression. The maximum f/1.2 aperture enables optimum control over depth of field to create beautiful feathered bokeh to make your subject stand out, and in low light conditions, continue shooting handheld for longer where other lenses simply can’t deliver. 

Outstanding Resolution with Reduced Aberrations

It’s the excellent optical performance of this Olympus M.Zuiko PRO lens that enables such stunning bokeh effects and accurate reproduction of detail and colour, even at the widest aperture setting. With 15 elements in 11 groups, the lens construction incorporates aspherical, extra-low dispersion and high refractive index elements to deliver exceptionally clear images free from chromatic and spherical aberrations. 

Fast and Precise AF

Whether you’re shooting a sitting portrait in a low-light, shadow-laden environment or you’re outside capturing an atmospheric street shot lined by beautiful architecture as cars drive past, fast and precise AF allows you greater control over focusing in all conditions. It’s fast and silent, and accurate across all focusing points. Eye Priority AF offers extra control during portrait photography, ensuring you capture the subject’s eyes in crystal-clear focus.

Anti-Reflective Coating

The signature Olympus ZERO (Zuiko extra-low reflection optical) coating applied to the individual lens elements of the Olympus M.ZUIKO PRO 17mm f/1.2 work to eliminate ghosting and flare and ensure high-quality images time and time again. By assisting to remove distortion, the coating ensures all-round superior clarity, even in challenging lighting conditions.

Weather-Resistant Design

Rest easy knowing the Olympus M.Zuiko 12-40mm F2.8 Pro lens features a build that is splash-, dust- and freeze-proof. Your lens will not only last longer, but it will also go further – you can take it with you just about anywhere.

Wonderfully Lightweight and Compact

The Olympus M.ZUIKO PRO 17mm f/1.2 lens is also wonderfully compact and lightweight despite its durable build, weighing in at just 390g. When paired with a camera like the OM-D E-M1 Mark II, the total combined weight is still under a kilogram, at approximately 964g.
