Showcase Olympus 17mm f/1.2 PRO

[frankmulder]

i did find one downside to the 1.2 aperture on my g85 (max SS 1/4000) - I had to get a 2 stop ND filter to shoot wide open outside in any kind of sun

Or use the electronic shutter (max 1/16000).

I think you won't regret it

First two shots.

I'm gonna have to watch the DOF at minimum focus!

A fast shutter speed was needed, but shooting wide open in plain sunlight is possible:

A couple of pictures from this past week's hikes - high alpine hiking in Colorado seems to be almost over until spring comes again. Usually take my 12-45 f/4 Pro, but sometimes it is interesting to see what one can do with just a single focal length lens.

Cannot get over that EU got free pro lenses! I would love to try the 17mm f1.2 but here in USA even on sale it costs $1149 right now. :-/ If it was maybe $700 - $800 I would find it more palatable.

I'm one of the lucky guys who got the 17 Pro for free with my E-M1 MKII. Thank you, Olympus
Here is one of the first photos i made with this lens:
