The '''M.Zuiko Digital 17&nbsp;mm f/1.8''' is a [[prime lens]] by [[Olympus Corporation]], for the [[Micro Four Thirds System]].

The lens, like other Olympus lenses, can switch from auto focus to manual focus by pulling back in its focusing ring.
==Reviews==
Steve Huff feels that the lens has a "beautiful character" that is neither too sharp nor too smooth. He also feels its out-of-focus areas (its [[bokeh]]) is attractive, and that it's a solidly constructed lens.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2013/01/27/the-olympus-17-1-8-lens-review-on-the-e-m5-by-steve-huff/|title=The Olympus 17 1.8 Lens Review on the E-M5 by Steve Huff|date=27 January 2013|website=stevehuffphoto.com}}</ref> Brendan Nystedt, writing for Reviewed.com, observed that, while sharp in the centers, the corners were not sharp.

In addition, they said that the image quality was good, but colors lacked punch.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thephoblographer.com/2013/04/25/review-olympus-17mm-f1-8-m-zuiko-micro-four-thirds/|title=Review: Olympus 17mm f/1.8 M.ZUIKO (Micro Four Thirds)|date=25 April 2013|website=thephoblographer.com}}</ref>
