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

Yes, if you shoot Micro Four Thirds and want a fast, wide prime. The Olympus M.Zuiko 17mm f/1.2 PRO is weather-sealed and frames like a 34mm lens on full frame. At f/1.2 its depth of field is roughly that of f/2.4 on the sensor, which suits low light and soft backgrounds. It has autofocus but no stabilisation, so you'll rely on light and shutter speed.

It fits a long list of bodies, including the OM System OM-1 and the OM System OM-5 Mark II.

If you want something smaller or simpler, the Olympus M.Zuiko 17mm f/2.8 is a thin pancake lens. I don't go into much detail on the 17mm f/1.8 yet. If you're still choosing your first fast prime, my first lenses guide explains the reasoning.
