Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 17mm f/2.8 Lens
The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 17mm f/2.8 Lens ($299.99) is a compact prime lens for use with Olympus PEN and other Micro four Thirds cameras. the optic produces a field of view that equates to 34mm in 35mm photography, a very useful and popular wide-angle field of view. the 2.5-ounce optic is quite compact, protruding a little less than an inch from the front of the camera and sporting a 2.2-inch diameter.
You’ll be able to use the lens with any Micro four Thirds camera, including the Olympus E-P3 ($899.99, 4 stars), E-PL3 ($699.99, 3.5 stars), and E-PM1 ($499.99, 4 stars). Prime lenses are generally smaller and lighter than their zooming counterparts, and—as a rule of thumb—deliver sharper images with less distortion.
