Robust Metal Housing
With this masterpiece of craftsmanship, you know you have a high-end, well-designed precision instrument which can be used and appreciated for years to come. Its pleasing premium-quality metal housing perfectly matches the sophisticated design of the OM-D or PEN series cameras.
Ideal for Low-Light Shooting
Featuring a very bright aperture of 1:1.8, this lens lets you capture the moment even in low-light conditions without a flash. Combined with Olympus’ exceptional in-camera image stabilisation, it’s ideal for use when a tripod is not practical, for shooting hand-held and travelling light.
Fast Focus Clutch
Easily set your lens’s parameters at one go by sliding and rotating the Fast Focus Clutch. With this mechanism, you get quick pan-focus shooting in which both your subject and the background are in focus – making for fun, trouble-free shooting.
Clear imaging: Zero coating
The M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 17 mm 1:1.8 lens features the advanced Zero coating for additional optical performance with every photo and movie. The vacuum deposition coating technique enables even clearer and higher contrast images due to less reflection and ghosting.
High-speed AF with Low Noise
This lens features the MSC (Movie and Still Compatible) AF linear motor mechanism for fast, quiet and accurate autofocus for both photos and movies. The linear motor technology features swift start-up and faster movement for superior focusing, so you’ll never miss a shot.

The stylish LC-48B metal lens cap which combines elegant design and maximum protection; the LH-48B round metal lens hood to keep extraneous light from entering the lens on backlit shots and the PRF-D46 PRO MFT filter to protect your front element when shooting.
Cases
The Olympus quilted cotton case CS-43: a very light camera bag or bag-in-bag style camera protection solution with an internal divider which keeps items in place and prevents them getting scratched. Or choose the dedicated Lens Case LSC-0811 featuring a Three -layer construction – ideal protection for your lens during transportation and storage.
