Product description for LAOWA 17mm f/1.8 Micro Four Thirds

Fast reportage wide-angle lens for mirrorless MFT cameras and drones.
The 17mm f/1.8 impresses with its excellent sharpness, high contrast and high speed. The focal length of this moderate wide-angle 17mm lens is equivalent to a 34mm 35mm lens, and the minimum focus distance is 15cm.

The ultra-compact metal body houses 9 lens elements in 7 groups. Together with the SuperED glass element, this gives you photos of the highest resolution. The 7 aperture blades provide a dreamlike bokeh and, when backlit, a beautiful uniform 14-beam star effect.

Thanks to the compact dimensions and the very low weight of only 172g, it is also perfect for drone photographers, e.g. with the DJI X5 camera. This is also supported by the Premium Frog Eye coating on the front lens, which prevents water droplets and dirt from sticking.

Photographers and filmmakers with the MFT system can look forward to a great tool that shows its advantages especially in reportage and street photography, on trips as well as still lifes. Focusing is manual, as is the aperture setting.

Warnings to LAOWA 17mm f/1.8 Micro Four Thirds

! Incorrect use and failure to observe these warnings can result in serious injury or even death.

! If you do not follow these instructions, lenses & adapters may be damaged and/or you may injure yourself.

! If the lens does not support manual override (e.g. Full-Time Manual Focus), manual adjustment of the focus ring in autofocus mode can damage the autofocus mechanism.

! Do not hold the lens firmly or block moving parts while the autofocus is working. This can overload and damage the motor.

! Keep your fingers away from moving parts, as the focus ring or other elements may move when autofocus is activated and cause injury.

! A weak battery can overload the AF motor and cause damage.

! Only use compatible cameras and adapters to prevent malfunctions of the autofocus system.

! Only use special cleaning cloths and cleaning agents to avoid scratches on the lenses.

! Lenses / adapters are sensitive to drops and knocks. Store and transport them safely in padded bags.

! Protect lenses / adapters from rain and high humidity. Condensation can lead to damage.

! Protect from prolonged exposure to extreme heat and cold.

! Do not point the lens directly at the sun, especially without a camera. It can act like a magnifying glass and cause fire hazard or damage.

! Use protective caps to prevent the ingress of dust and dirt.

! Take care not to damage the bayonet or the contacts.

! When using filters or lens hoods, ensure that they are correctly attached.

! Moving parts can be swallowed.

! Keep away from children and pets.
