M.Zuiko Digital 17mm F1.8 II overview
The OM System M.Zuiko Digital 17mm F1.8 II is a 17mm f/1.8 prime for Micro Four Thirds cameras on Micro Four Thirds, announced by OM System in February 2025. 37 cameras we track take it without an adapter.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits low light and travel. It is a weaker pick for close-ups.
New, it sells for A$649 in Australia (Georges Cameras). Over the last 90 days it has usually cost A$543 to A$649 new.
Worth comparing it with the Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 15mm F1.7 ASPH., OM System M.Zuiko Digital ED 17mm F1.2 PRO and Panasonic Lumix G 14mm F2.5 II ASPH..
