Laowa 17mm f/1.8 Lens for Micro Four Thirds
The Laowa 17mm f/1.8 MFT is your best everyday prime lens. Giving the equivalent of a 34mm angle of view on full frame, it is perfect for street, travel, documentary, and everyday photography — and at just 172 g, it is a light, compact, and agile complement to any Micro Four Thirds camera.
Its fast f/1.8 aperture handles challenging light with ease and creates smooth bokeh with a rounded 7-blade diaphragm, while delivering sharp, high-contrast images even wide open. A 15 cm minimum focus distance unlocks a handy “mini-macro” capability for close-ups with beautiful subject separation.
