Is the olympus m zuiko 17mm f 1 8 worth buying used?

I'd say yes, it's a good candidate for buying used. The 17mm f/1.8 is a small prime that gives a 34mm-equivalent view on Micro Four Thirds, with autofocus and a wide f/1.8 aperture for low light and background blur. It isn't stabilised, so your camera's body stabilisation will matter if you shoot handheld in dim light.

It also fits a very long list of Olympus and Panasonic bodies, so you're unlikely to be stuck with a mount that's hard to pair. The buying used page explains why a used lens or body is often the best value, and you should check the condition of any lens before you buy. If you're still choosing a camera to pair with it, the Micro Four Thirds mount page lists the system.
