PL 15mm f1.7 price

[maldito]

I got quoted at just below 699.. At another shop.. But i have yet to pull the trigger..

That's the magic number you've been waiting for!

ya haha, i'm pleasantly surprised the price can be under 700, though I still have a good 17/1.8

That's right..
Decided to wait to awhile more..

So far from samples and reviews online it is almost the same as the 20mm in terms of IQ..

But the size of the lens really matches the gm1 very well.. Reminds me of the 14mm just slightly thicker..

14/2.5 - Dia:55.6mm L:20.6mm
15/1.7 - Dia:57.5mm L:36mm
20/1.7 - Dia:63mm L:25.5mm

Yeah... it's closer to the 20 than the 14 though.

I think the fact that it doesn't protrude out of the gm1 body makes a hell of a difference..

Not much interest in this lens leh.. I think most of us who are interested owns a gm1?

 

[tsnap]

competitive pricing for a Leica lens!

 

[Hong Jia]

This lens got no OIS right?

 

[flikmy]

I think the fact that it doesn't protrude out of the gm1 body makes a hell of a difference..

Wouldn't the oly 17/1.8 fit that bill as well?

 

[vengels]

If i am not wrong the 17mm is not flushed with the gm1 body..
It is still slightly bigger.. 2mm if i am not wrong.. Very slight difference only..
I know I am nitpicking here but please forgive me

Of all the Olympus lens.. Only the 12mm and 45mm is flushed..

So far only 4 lens fit the gm1 body exactly..

Hmm... The diameter of the 17/1.8 appears to be 57.5mm, the same as the 15/1.7.

I think u are right.. I read on dpreview b4 that the 17mm still bigger than then gm1..

So I always tot it is bigger than gm1.. Never tried the 17mm on the gm1 b4..

From this picture seems like the aperture ring knurling area is slightly bigger than the gm1 body...
........and of course the hood

On my way to SLS to get this lens on behalf of my gf. Reasonable price inclusive of GST, just a tad more than Amazon JP direct conversion. After that going TK to hoot filter. Which colour is more suitable on a black M10 :think:

can share/ PM the shop as well? so far I got quoted above 700..

maybe only the smallest part of the 17/1.8 as small as the gm1..

:dunno:

Can pm me?
TIA

Hi

Am I right to say that the aperture ring for this lens does not work with ANY Olympus m43 body at the moment?

 

[jackwolf]

Shouldnt be any problem since oly accept international warranty.. but maybe some bros here who experience before can give a firmer answer.

Yes, just like the Nocticron 42.5mm, the aperture ring only works on Panasonic mft bodies.
