Product details

The M. ZUIKO DIGITAL 17 mm 1:1.8 is lightweight, compact and offers exceptional image quality. Extra-bright 1:1.8 aperture makes it possible to take pictures with remarkable background blur, but - with
the help of the image stabilizer of the Olympus cameras based on the Mirco Four Thirds standard - even pin-sharp pictures without a tripod in low light conditions.The smart snapshot focus mechanism and the MSC (Movie & Still Compatible) technology are part of the wide-angle equipment so that every moment can be captured in premium quality. The special multiple coating of the ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical) lens surfaces minimizes the occurrence of ghost images and backlight reflections.

Ein gemäßigtes Weitwinkel mit guter Lichtstärke, das sich bei offener Blende einige Schwächen am Bildrand nachsagen lassen muss. Ab Blende 3,5 ist alles in Ordnung und bei 5,6 richtig gut. In Summe: Offen nicht perfekt, aber eine gute Festbrennweite für 550 Euro und "empfohlen".

Das Olympus macht seine Arbeit sehr gut und ist dabei auch offen für gute Aufnahmen geeignet. Die hochwertige Verarbeitung und die sehr gute Bedienbarkeit machen aus dem Objektiv ein top Produkt. Das Abdunklen des Randes ist beim Abblenden ebenfalls sehr gut gelungen.
