I was shopping for the Olympus 17mm f2.8 pancake lens but can't find any at reasonable price. I happened to stumble onto the Sigma being liquidated as the dealer is clearing out old stock for the new "Art" series. The price is 1/2 of the used Olympus 17mm. The lens in brand new with 10 years warranty from Sigma, come with hood and pouch. I had a Sigma 30mm F1.4 in the past and I was very happy with the quality of Sigma and would like to try out this new lens. Likes: 1) fast focus, faster than the Lumix 14mm and Olympus 14-150mm. 2) Quiet focus, quieter than Lumix 14mm and Olympus 14-150mm, but not as quiet as the Olympus 14-42mm kit lens. 3) good build quality, on par with Lumix and Olympus except for looseness identified below. 4) sharp accross the frame with very little barrel distortion when compare to the Lumix 14mm (to be expected as it is not as wide) 5) No annoying aperature noise like the Lumix 14mm 6) Faster (aperature wise) than kit lens and allow much better indoor video at low night Dislikes: 1)The size is about twice as big as the Olympus pancake, making it less pocketable on the EPL3 that I am using 2) the lens feel loose inside when not mounted on camera body. I found out on the internet that it is normal due to floating element design and has no impact on operation. It is still discerning for any unsuspecting user to pick up the lens and feel the inside is knocking around. 3) Photeme does not recognize this lens yet. I am still looking for a Olympus 17mm when price is right as I intend to buy another micro 4/3 body for my wife. For now, I am happy to use the Sigma which is at least as good as Olympus and may even be better in some aspects.Read full review
I bought it for my birthday gift in late april. It is a decent len, very nice image quality and fast focus. The only weakness of this len is the size. It`s thickness is as twice as similar len in panasonic.Altough it is not the best compact len, but its performance is excellent and the price is only 113 dollar. What a steal len, I will recommend this len to my friends. I wish they like this len and enjoy shopping on ebay.
Works well and arrived quickly.
