LAOWA 17mm F1.8 pour Micro 4/3

Laowa 17mm f/1.8 for Micro Four Thirds (M43) Cameras It is the 4th Wide angle lens that LAOWA developed for MFT mirrorless cameras, following the success of their ultra-wide 7.5mm f/2, 9mm f/2.8 and 4mm f/2.8 fisheye lenses. The LAOWA 17 mm corresponds to a 34 mm viewing angle on a full-frame sensor. The lens houses nine elements in seven groups and features a seven-leaf membrane for comfortable sun viewing. The lens is compact and weighs only 172g. It has a minimum focus distance of 15cm from the sensor and has a 46mm filter thread. Weighing only 172g, this remarkably lightweight, compact and agile lens serves as a perfect complement to MFT cameras. It is a great tool for still life, close-up, street and travel photography and should be stored in any photographer equipment. An ultra-fast f/1.8 maximum aperture not only produces a gentle bokeh with its rounded 7-blade membrane, but also offers great performance in low light conditions. Despite the fast aperture of f/1.8, sharp and high-contrast images can be captured on any aperture – even wide open! It is an ideal lens for portraits, groups, landscapes, travel and general purpose imaging. This lens has a minimum focusing distance of 15 cm, which greatly benefits shooting from details and smaller objects. Photographers can use the "mini macro" feature to capture close-ups with a lower depth of field, creating smooth out-focus renderings and impressive subject separation from the background. The 17mm f/1.8 lens is a portable option for videographers - both in the hand and on gimbals. The powerful optical design includes an ED (extra low dispersion) glass element that delivers high-resolution images while minimizing ghosting and stray light, expanding your shooting potential in demanding situations. Package includes: LAOWA 17mm f/1.8 MFT Limited 3-year warranty.
