Olympus M.Zuiko 17mm f/1.8

Pros: Size, Ghiera Focus,sharpness,

Cons: Flare

Opinion: I love this lens, it's attached to my camera 90% of the time, maybe even 95. I appreciate it for its size; Portability has always been a strong point of Olympus cameras and lenses. Of course, in the pro line of the Japanese company's goals are not that small, for example the 17mm f/1.2 weighs 390g, which is not much compared to the canon 1.4 eqv which weighs as much as 760g, the point is that this 17mm f/1.8 weighs only 120. The differences with the older brother f/1.2 are there, and less bad given the price difference, but are these differences so important and obvious? For me, no, I would like to give up a bit of sharpness and brightness in favor of unparalleled portability. The quality of this lens is very good, it is quite sharp even at full opening. It is then built with sturdy materials and despite the barrels it has given here and shows no signs of wear or malfunction and for this reason I can definitely say that it is also reliable. Too bad only for flares that are sometimes annoying and for the lack of tropicalization, but you know, that is a feature that the company reserves for the PRO line. Another feature that I really appreciate is the dial for manual focus, on certain occasions I find it very comfortable to see with a glance the distances especially when I want to do street and I do not want to rely on the autofocus, which is good, but not 100% perfect. For professional jobs I bought the famous 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO, which is undoubtedly better in many respects. However it is much bulker than the 17mm which is in every way preferable for size and brightness. These are the motivations that motivate me to recommend this goal, I could safely sell the rest of the body slow and keep only this without me missing the other goals.
