Thread: Food trucks, walk in the park with new Oly 17/1.8 lens

Finally took some more photos with the new 17/1.8. Nice sunny day in Houston. Went to grab some lunch with the wife at some food trucks and walked around the park. Really enjoying this lens. Definitely a keeper!!

All these photos were with the OMD, RAW, processed in LR, lowered contrast, some cropping on a few photos, adjusted exposure, black, shadows. Used a 0.6 ND filter so that I could shoot at f1.8.

nice Oly colors. And I LOVE that shrimp with the flame-throwing six-shooters! That new 17mm looks nice.

I used to stop for gourmet food trucks. Then I realized I just spent eight buck on a grilled cheese sandwich and now I'm back eating indoors. +1 on Luke's comments. So what's with the trench and island?

Looks like it was a nice day out. I have noticed that just about everyone who actually has the 17/1.8 likes it a lot. The negative commentary seems to have been based solely on looking at test scores.

I deel THE Same, Lucky.
Amazon.com has good user reviews too.

How do you like the AF and build quality of the lens, armanius?

That 17mm is one hell of a great lens. It will be a legend sooner rather than later. Awesome sharp but natural images.

PS, 4th photo
Belgian beer :)

Yeah, very nice lens, great build, great user qualities like the clutch ring and fast AF. It'll get used!

Nice shots Armando. Lunch with your wife looks great. And what's up with that cool trench dug in the grass in such a decorative manner? I'm guessing there's a story there.

the price for the lens in belgium is only about 100 euro more then the panasonic 20mm and i don't like the 20mm that much on an oly body...
+ the 17mm has better built quality , is much faster to focus (i presume ?) , has nicer MF and a nicer FoV imo

1. it looks you have 3 meals for 2 people
2. your wife's smile is radiant
3. i like making lists
