M.Zuiko 17mm f1.8

TWO-POSITION SNAP FOCUS RING

Do you enjoy switching from autofocus to manual focus for greater creative control? The 17mm

f1.8 makes it easy with a two-position snap focus ring. With the ring in the autofocus position,

you can either use AF or switch to manual focus using the camera controls. But when you want

to shoot old-school, just move the snap ring to engage the Manual Focus Clutch for the satisfying

feel of a classic mechanical lens as you focus in on your subject. A distance/depth-of-field scale

on the lens barrel makes it easy to calculate the correct focus position; it’s great for zone

focusing when you want to be stealthy while shooting street scenes.

MOVIE & STILL COMPATIBLE MECHANISM One of this lens’s most interesting features is the unique-to-Olympus Movie & Still Compatible mechanism, or MSC. This technology provides amazingly fast – and nearly silent – autofocus operation. You’ll really notice the benefit when you play back your HD video and the only thing you hear is the ambient background noise in the scene you were filming; what you won’t hear is the sound of the lens moving as it changes focus. This lens is perfect for tracking action.
