Olympus m zuiko 12mm f 2 vs ttartisan 17mm f 1 4?
The Olympus M.Zuiko 12mm f/2 is a wide, 24mm-equivalent autofocus prime for Micro Four Thirds only. It suits travel, interiors and anywhere you need to fit more in.
The TTArtisan 17mm f/1.4 is manual focus, but it's the faster lens and mounts on Sony E, Fujifilm X, Nikon Z, L-Mount and Micro Four Thirds. On Micro Four Thirds it frames like 34mm and gives thinner backgrounds, which makes it the better choice for people and low light.
My pick: take the 12mm if you want wide and autofocus, or the 17mm f/1.4 if you don't mind focusing by hand and want the tighter, faster view. If you're on Micro Four Thirds and want another 17mm to compare, see the Olympus M.Zuiko 17mm f/1.8.
