That example is not very sharp indeed. The QC is quite very disappointing to say the least.

Nowadays, I give the lens a physical run over for a good 10-15mins, all over before I make payments .... any lens !

Then another 10-15mins of shooting and pixel peeping .....

Saves a lot of hassle for when after the fact

The lens should be available at your favourite camera shops today (going to collect mine later today), and as said before, it is below $700.

Stock is in...

I do agree to some extend for the comments from the taiwan site... I look at the 17mm build, its not as good compared to the 12mm and 45mm. You could see like its being push out on the rush to beat xmas sales...Maybe those getting later might have better quality after if Oly sees these feedback...

Hopefully the pictures are ok when got time to play with it later...

Not happy with the quality, dun buy. Speak with action.

I bought it since i like the focal length. Too old to peek any pixels... Pictures look good on ipad to me

Can you post the link to the flickr source?

 

[maldito]

nice rolex, looks genuine

 

[milez]

Definitely genuine Sea Dweller.

Mind if i ask, how much did you pay for it? How's the construction quality of the lens?

SLR was selling it 617 yesterday but stock sold out before I got there

Considering the Panny 20/1.7 now seeling for $499, This Oly 17/1.8 at $617 is 23.6% more expensive. I'm wondering if i should get the 20/1.7 instead. Or top up a bit and get the PL25/1.4

f/1.4! How much is that one right now? But they have all different focal lengths...

 

[maldito]

I believe 20mm sells at 540
