Is the olympus m zuiko 17mm f 1 2 pro worth buying used?

Yes, I'd buy this one used if the price is right. The 17mm f/1.2 PRO is a weather-sealed prime that frames like a 34mm lens on full frame, and f/1.2 gives you plenty of light and a shallow look for portraits and low-light shooting. It has no stabilisation, so the sensor or body needs to do that job if you shoot handheld in dim places.

Lenses hold their value well and are built to last, so a used copy is one of the easiest ways to get a pro-grade prime for less. Read buying used before you commit, and check the lens for fungus, haze and a smooth focus ring.

It fits a long list of Micro Four Thirds bodies, including the OM System OM-1 and OM System OM-5 Mark II, so you can match it to the body you already have or plan to buy.
