Product details

Laowa 17mm f/1.8 MFT is perfect for street, travel, and everyday photography. Weighing only 6oz (172g), this remarkably light, compact, and agile lens serves as an exceptional complement to MFT cameras. It is a great tool that should be in every photographer's kit bag. The wide angle of view (65°) paired with the large f/1.8 aperture can easily handle different lighting conditions. The lens houses nine elements in seven groups and has a seven-blade diaphragm to provide a traditional sunstar rendering in out-of-focus highlights. It has a minimum focus distance of 15cm and a 46mm filter thread.
