Olympus m.ZD 17mm f/2.8 pancake lens
introduction
-
-
-
although I own this lens, personally I would not advise users to buy it - get one of the above lenses instead
only slight (0.8%) barrel distortion when corrected by Olympus cameras but RAW distortion is quite bad at 4.5%
vignetting is mild at 0.8EV
substantial CA which is uncorrected (2.2px at f/2.8 increasing to 2.8px at f/5.6, and averages 3px at the edges)
prone to lens flare without a hood when shooting into bright lights
very sharp in the centre but borders only average and best at f/4 while corners are soft wide open and reach average at f/5.6
specs
17mm focal length = 34mm in 35mm film terms = very nice for street photography
f/2.8-f/22 aperture = an almost an extra stop light and DOF performance compared to the kit lenses
-
closest focus 20cm
lens extends slightly when powered up
6 elements in 4 groups = high optical quality with reasonable bokeh
71g
57mm x 22mm long (pancake)
