Frequently Asked Questions – M.Zuiko 17mm F1.8 II
Why choose a 17mm lens?
As a 34mm equivalent on Micro Four Thirds cameras, this lens offers a moderately wide angle of view that’s perfect for street photography, landscapes, and architecture. It’s wide enough to capture the environment while avoiding extreme distortion.
How does it perform in low light?
The F1.8 maximum aperture allows for excellent low-light performance and creates a shallow depth of field when needed. Combined with modern camera bodies, you can confidently shoot in challenging lighting conditions.
Is this lens weather-sealed?
Yes, it features IPX1 weather sealing when mounted on compatible OM SYSTEM weather-sealed camera bodies, providing protection against light rain and moisture.
How close can I focus?
The minimum focusing distance is 0.25m (about 9.8 inches), which combines well with the wide angle to create unique perspectives in close-up shots while maintaining environmental context.
How portable is it?
At just 112g and measuring 57.6 × 37.6mm, it’s an incredibly compact lens that won’t weigh you down. It’s perfect for travel and street photography where discretion and mobility are important.
What’s different from the original version?
The Mark II version adds weather sealing while maintaining the optical excellence of the original. It’s also been cosmetically updated to match current OM SYSTEM designs.

Yes – the fast and quiet MSC (Movie & Still Compatible) autofocus system makes it excellent for video work, though note it doesn’t have built-in stabilization.
What filters can I use?
The lens accepts 46mm filters, which are relatively affordable and widely available. This includes UV filters, polarizers, and neutral density filters.
How’s the build quality?

As a photographer, you might be considering a move to the OM SYSTEM from a full-frame system like Canon, and for good reason. While full-frame cameras certainly have their place, the innovative Micro Four Thirds system championed by OM SYSTEM offers a range of compelling benefits that make it a fantastic choice for many photographers.
First and foremost, OM SYSTEM cameras and lenses are incredibly compact and lightweight, making them perfect for travel, street photography, and everyday shooting.

With advanced features like high-speed autofocus, in-body image stabilisation, and 4K video capabilities, these cameras are more than capable of keeping up with your creative demands.
Another key advantage of the OM SYSTEM is the extensive range of high-quality lenses available. From ultra-wide angles to telephoto zooms, there's a lens to suit every shooting situation – and thanks to the Micro Four Thirds mount, these lenses are often significantly smaller, lighter, and more affordable than their full-frame counterparts.
