OM System M.Zuiko DIGITAL 17 mmf/1.2 Fixed 35mm
Its 35mm equivalent focal length and f/1.2 aperture combine with weather-sealed construction to deliver tack-sharp resolution from center to edges, even wide open. Unique feathered bokeh offers two distinct background rendering styles for precise creative control over subject isolation. Best for portrait shooters on Micro Four Thirds who need fast, reliable autofocus and a lightweight 390g lens for shallow depth-of-field work.
