At the Photokina trade show held in Cologne, Germany, we had an opportunity to lay our hands on a prototype M.Zuiko Digital ED 17mm f/1.8 lens. This is an interesting moderate wide-angle lens that features both a distance scale and DoF marks, making it suitable for zone focusing, much like the existing (but considerably wider) 12mm f/2 lens. In order to show you what the M.Zuiko Digital ED 17mm f/1.8 “street photography lens” looks like in the flesh, we have compiled a hands-on gallery of 22 images.

No, I need a silver one, give me a silver one now! Wait, I want both. A silver and a black one. I have two EM-5's, a silver and a black one. God, this lens looks great. If it's sharp enough at f/1.8 I'll sell my girlfriend for it.

No, it's not a pancake, it's a lens and I want one right now! Olympus, start building these lenses now please. I already sold my mom and two of my best friends for it.

Well, the excitement is all gone after reading various reviews on the net. My god, this is a bad lens! And it's extremely expensive too. I'll wait a couple of years for a better 17mm. Maybe Panasonic will give us what we need some day.

Well, it's not completely useless, but it surely is a big disappointment for all the people that waited patiently for a good 35mm equivalent. It has almost nothing over the slow focussing and ancient Panasonic 20mm. If I had to choose though, I’d pick the Olympus 17mm f/1.8, but it’s not a slam dunk for Olympus.
