Product details

The Laowa 17mm f/1.8 MFT lens is perfect for street, travel, and everyday photography. Weighing only 172 g, this remarkably lightweight, compact, and agile lens is an excellent addition to MFT cameras. It is a fantastic tool that should be in every camera bag. The wide angle of 65° combined with the large aperture of f/1.8 can effortlessly handle various lighting conditions. The lens consists of nine elements in seven groups and features a seven-blade diaphragm, allowing for a traditional starburst effect in out-of-focus lights. It has a minimum focusing distance of 15 cm and a filter thread of 46 mm.
