The 17mm gives the equivalent to a 34mm angle of view on a full-frame sensor. Optimized for M43 system, the resulting images deliver stunning details and contrast across the entire frame, even at a wide-open aperture. The vibrant colour rendering results in high saturation, leaving the photograph impressively pleasing straight out of the camera.

Close Focusing Distance
This lens has a 5.9” (15cm) minimum focusing distance that greatly benefits working with close-up subjects in detail. Photographers can make use of the “Mini-macro” feature to capture macro shots with shallow depth of field, creating smooth out-of-focus blurring and good subject separation from the background.
