Overview
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 give a traditional Sunstar rendering in out-of-focus highlights. It has a minimum focus distance of 15cm and a 46mm filter thread.
This compact prime lens is very bright and gives a beautiful bokeh, thanks to the 7 built-in aperture blades. In addition, the 9 lens elements in 7 groups ensure optimal sharpness and excellent color reproduction. This makes it ideal for landscape and architectural photography. Thanks to the minimum focusing distance of 15 centimeters, it can even be used in the macro area.

Performance
The 17mm gives the equivalent to a 34mm angle of view on a full-frame sensor. Optimized for M43 system, the resulting images deliver stunning details and contrast across the entire frame, even at a wide-open aperture. The vibrant color rendering results in high saturation, leaving the photograph impressively pleasing straight out of the camera.

Additional Features
An ultra-fast f/1.8 maximum aperture not only creates smooth bokeh with its rounded 7-blade diaphragm but also offers great low-light performance. Despite the fast aperture, sharp, high-contrast images of distant subjects can be captured at any aperture. It is an ideal lens for portraits, landscapes, travel, and all-purpose imaging.

Macro Capabilities
This lens has a 5.9 (15cm) minimum focusing distance that greatly benefits working with close-up subjects in detail. Photographers can make use of the Mini-macro feature to capture macro shots with shallow depth of field, creating smooth out-of-focus blurring and good subject separation from the background.
Final Thoughts
Attributed to the compact and light body, the 17mm f/1.8 lens is a portable and on-the-go option for videographers, both handheld and on gimbals. The high-performance optical design incorporates one Super ED (extra-low dispersion) glass element that delivers high-definition images with minimum ghosting and flare, broadening your shooting potential in challenging situations.
