Olympus 17Mm F/2.8

[Marine Blue] I use this with an OM-5. It fits with the Olympus 14-42mm ez, the Olympus 17mm f1.8 and just barely with the Lumix 15mm (use the thinner Olympus lens cap). A slightly larger pouch would be nice. Their specs say 105mm x 115mm x 150mm. I measure closer to 100mm x 100mm x 150mm(at the tallest point). If it measured to their specs It would be better. Something like 110mm x 125 mm x 150mm would be perfect. That would fit the OM-5 with the 12-45mm f4.

[110°] The reviews of this lens were good as I was researching the Laowa 17mm, but I was still prepared to be disappointed with a sub-$150 lens. The reviews were spot-on, however: this is a great lens! Image quality is comparable to the Olympus 17mm f/1.8 I recently sold. The chromatic aberration is MUCH more controlled on this lens compared to the Olympus. Obviously you give up auto focus with the Laowa, but the Olympus also costs over 3x the price of this lens. This lens is also heavier and longer than the Oly 17 (same filter size though, so that's a plus!). This lens feels like it has great build quality. The focus ring is stiff but smooth; the aperture ring is clicked and has the right amount of resistance. Overall this is a great lens and would be a good start for someone just getting into manual focus lenses with the MFT system.

[62 mm] This is a great cap for Olympus lenses that use 46mm filters, like the 12mm f/2 and 17mm f/1.8. They fit perfectly, and come off without searching for the pinch tabs. The loop at the edge lets you tether it with a simple lanyard that looks better than the stick-on type, too.

[Front] This is the original, metal lens hood for the Olympus 17mm Prime lens. B&H had it at a very competitive price, and they are quick to ship. Used to reduce lens flare in wide angle shots, especially with this prime lens. Low profiel and easy to use, it's great for walk around, street photography use, as well.

[77 mm] So far I have somehow lost TWO of these Olympus 37mm Pro filters because they somehow came loose on my M. Zuiko 17mm lens and fell off! How that is possible I don't know, but I always replace them with genuine Olympus Pro filters.

[Full-Frame] Got this to supplement the Olympus 17mm f1.8 for my Pen f. The images from this lens seem more defined than the 17mm, which seem smoother. Also, the extra image coverage is useful when using the cameras built in perspective adjustments (which uses/reduces captured image area). CA isn't as well contained (software?) and the aperture dial doesn't function, but these trade-offs are worth it. The images are very nice. It's interesting how Panasonic and Olympus realize images differently. Both good but different characteristics.

[f/22] Today, 12-11-19, my Olympus 17mm 1.8 came to my door. At 80 yrs. old, I took my photography years ago with my Pentax K1000, So, I mounted the 17mm on my Olympus M10 Mark 111 and took a manual shot in low light. It was Great !!!! Several shots outdoors with this lens and I love it. I switched to auto focus, which is very fast and the details are very sharp also. Buy this Olympus 17mm 1.8 and you will not go wrong.

[Black] I purchased to store my Olympus PEN F with an attached 17mm/1.8 lens. Works wonderfully with a bit of room to spare. Since MFT lenses are small, the 25mm will fit, maybe the 45mm. I also have a Gordy wrist strap attached which fits in there nicely. I cut off the additional strap that attaches to the case to the lens cover. Nice little feature but I have no need for it. Overall, case is great for packing the camera in backpack, luggage, or car. Well built and designed. Highly recommend.

[Empty] Well made. I bought two cases to protect an Olympus 17mm f1.8 and a 14-42mm zoom. They protect better than the stock Olympus pouch. They work.

[APS-C] At less than half the price of the new Olympus 17mm Pro f/1.2 this lens is an excellent value. Though it is a bit slower (f/1.4) than its counterpart, the optical quality of this lens is second to none. I bought it for indoor photography under low light coupled to my Olympus OM-D EM-1 Mark II. While the lens looks very plain it has a nice solid quality about it. I have the Olympus 25 mm f/1.2 and was somewhat disappointed by the lack of sharpness. I hope someone compares this Sigma lens to the Olympus 17 mm Pro f/1.2. I would like to know how they stack up against each other. Hats off to Sigma for making a great lens!
