New images of the 17mm 1.8 lens (and RAW files!)
The french website OpenPN posted some new images of the 17mm f/1.8 lens that has been displayed in Paris. The image on top shows the lens on the [shoplink 29074]Olympus E-M5[/shoplink]. Olympus, we really need a Black version of the lens…but not limited and expensive like the [shoplink 34807 ebay]12mm edition[/shoplink]!
M43.eu just updated his post and included the original RAW files samples of the lens. He also wrote a short impression about the image quality of the lens: “To be honest, I’m not brought to my knees. Many of the images in the center of the frame look very decent, but also I cannot express my great enthusiasm when comparing these to the images taken with the Olympus 75 mm or 12 mm. The edges of the frame the sharpness drops significantly.”
