Best for

A reportage and documentary lens - the 34mm equivalent field of view is the classic street and environmental-portrait focal length, and f/1.2 buys both low-light capability and unusually shallow depth of field for the format. The PRO sealing makes it a genuine all-weather lens. Heavier and dearer than the 17mm f/1.8, which is the lighter everyday alternative.

Frequently asked questions

Is f/1.2 on Micro Four Thirds like f/1.2 on full frame?

For exposure, yes - f/1.2 is f/1.2 and gathers the same light. For depth of field, the smaller sensor means the blur is closer to what an f/2.4 lens gives on full frame. You still get very usable subject separation, and the low-light benefit is real.

Why choose this over the 17mm f/1.8?

The PRO adds weather sealing, noticeably better corner sharpness wide open, and the smoother out-of-focus rendering Olympus calls feathered bokeh. The f/1.8 is around half the weight and much cheaper - a better walkaround lens if you do not need sealing.

  • A proper little treasure trove

    3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
