Review: Description does not match with the item contents - It is a very versatile lens. A must have for a mft user. The overall performance of this lens is beyond my expectations. However, there’s an issue with the description. It is mentioned with hood and pouch. What I received doesn’t have any of those two items. Either was duped or wrong description.
Review: Five stars. I love it! (except for the price that is) This is a very well made lens. I just love to hold this lens in my hand. It is compact and has a good heft to it - feels reassuringly solid like a small rock in your palm. This is a very fast focusing lens. This is fantastic with the touch to focus and click features of most micro four thirds cameras. This lens with my EM5 makes DSLR seem like last century stuff. This lens has a fast aperture. f/1.8 and micro four thirds sensors easily reaching ISO 1600 without breaking a sweat mean that low light and indoors shooting are no longer an impediment. This lens is sharp enough wide open. Alone by itself the lens is very sharp. In comparison to the very sharp Panasonic 20/1.7 this lens is only a little less sharp. You would notice the difference only if you pixel peep all the time. The fast autofocus more than compensates. I would say this lens is a better buy. This lens has great DOF. The small sensor with the f/1.8 gives just the right DOF. Larger sensors like the full frame cameras have a thinner DOF but that is often a hindrance. I have had photos where one single eye was in focus and the rest of the face had begun to blur. Feels awesome for the first ten portraits and then that thrill wears off. Micro four thirds systems tend to get the full face in focus. I like that. This lens is part of a very compact kit. I feel like carrying my micro four thirds camera and a couple of primes everywhere because I can. A DSLR - I have a full frame and a crop sensor - with its equivalent lenses seems to occupy four times the volume and twice the weight.

*by J***T on 11 November 2013*

I have had this lens for a while now (I pre-ordered it on amazon when it was first announced). It is a great bit of kit, when you open up the box for the first time, compared to other lenses I own for the system this one is superior in nearly ever way. CONSTRUCTION The lens body is all metal, it feels superb. Every movement is solid and precise. A joy to hold. IMAGE The lens takes lovely photos, no doubt. The 17mm F1.8 (34mm equivalent) equates to one of the most popular F.O.V.'s on full frame cameras (35mm) and I really enjoy using this focal length. The large aperture allows for great creative opportunities and strong subject isolation, and the width of the images allows me to fit in any subject I might wish. IN USE On my Olympus PEN E-P5 Micro Four Thirds Interchangeable Lens Camera - Black Body Only (16.1MP, Live MOS) 3.0 inch Tiltable Touchscreen LCD the size is perfect. The focusing speed is almost unbelievable, and talking of focusing- the snapshot focus mechanism is superb. Just pull the focus ring towards the camera body and the camera automatically switches to manual focus mode - which this lens is a joy to use in, thanks to its nicely dampened focus ring and film camera lens style distance scale... CONCLUSION I bought one, and I would do it again in a heat beat. I also have the Panasonic 20mm Compact and Lightweight Digital Interchangeable Lens for Lumix G - Black , which I personally feel delivers minutely better images but at the price that it is not as slick in the focusing department, and because of that, I do not enjoy using it the way I do the Olympus 17mm F1.8
